Strange, strange comedy about a paranoid husband and his distrusting wife. One misunderstanding leads to another and eventually everybody starts running around (I think) Belgium as zany-ness ensues. The hidden gem of Belvaux’s Trilogy is to see the films overlap. They are concurrent stories with shared peripheral characters, so it is quite exciting to see how the same moment in time plays differently in a thriller like On The Run versus a comedy like this. Ornella Muti, born 1955, is one of the sexiest women I’ve ever seen in a film. And she wears a sweater and coat throughout the entire film. Go figure.
