Monsieur (1990)

A quirky, rudderless Frenchman refuses to let disappointment stand in his way in Jean-Philippe Toussaint's singularly odd black-and-white film Monsieur (1990). Nothing phases the strange Monsieur (Dominic Gould)--when his girlfriend announces their breakup by bringing a new man home, the silly sap goes right on living under her roof. Eventually he’s pushed out on the pavement, where he allows a strange parade of characters to boss him around. It’s possible that our hero’s simply shell-shocked by an encounter with the ravishing Mme Pons-Romanov (Eva Ionesco). The lounging beauty’s nude scene is enough to make any man become a little distracted.
