Published: Jan. 24, 2022, noon

Following last week's randomly-selected film, we are surprised that Randy has chosen for us another French absurdist comedy addressing the arbitrary and hypocritical nature of social standards of forbidden behavior.\xa0 However this time we're given s somewhat more conventional comedic approach with Sasha Guitry's examination of spousal murder and the odd reactions it can engender in so-called polite cultural circles.\xa0 Spoiler: it's actually pretty funny.

If you'd like to watch ahead for next week's film, we will be discussing and reviewing Takashi Murakami's\xa0Jellyfish Eyes\xa0(2013).
