Edouard is a pianist, married with Caroline. This evening, they are invited to Claude's. Claude is the snobbish uncle of Caroline, his son Alain (as snobbish as his father) is in love with Caroline. They spite Edouard a little because he's poor. At the party, Edouard must play the piano to make himself known by Claude's important acquaintances. But just before leaving, Edouard and Caroline quarrel about clothes, and Edouard goes alone...
除片尾之外全部的音乐皆为Diegetic Sound，贝克一丝不苟的现实主义用来拍Melodrama真的太迷人太好看了，浮华虚荣的上层社会大背景下还能为每个角色赋予至少一个真情流露（但不一定更讨人喜欢）的瞬间。浪漫在他的电影里永远是有代价的，或大或小的差别罢了。
两部分精彩的室内戏。
打打闹闹的小夫妻，背后有着巨大的阶级差异。欢喜结尾，预示着男主走上人生巅峰的前景。没什么意思，用来学法语还不错。尤其还有个英语口音的美国人在里面说法语。

上层社会的社交活动真是够无聊的，已婚中年夫妻都去调戏年轻异性，一个美国人看透一切hhh 只有几段室内戏的电影，小夫妻小打小闹
