ANTOINE AND ANTOINETTE

Jacques Becker’s lively, affectionate tribute to the Parisian working class focuses on a printer and his sales clerk wife. She wins the lottery but he misplaces the ticket, causing tensions in their marriage. This romantic gem, “one of the most likeable pictures of its time” (Cinema: The Magic Vehicle), was the first of Becker’s “youth” or “loving couples” trilogy. The other two parts show over the next two weekends. Cleveland revival premiere. Subtitles. DCP. 84 min.
