Hedonistic philosopher-cum-delinquent, Antonin always finds the right word to win himself both the compliments and the rebukes of his fellows. A married man, Antonin never misses a chance to exploit both the goodness and the patience of his wife, Églantine. He is also a constant source of disappointment to his sister, Solveig. Busy trying to avoid Rose, the tax collector who is after his neck, Antonin cannot get his attraction and desire for the beautiful Cassiopée out of his skull. Tormented, Antonin must now devise the right scheme and the right words to apologize to Aurore, one of his victims. Between these five women, Antonin gets stuck.

Jessica Kiang Variety At the very least, it's an intellectually ticklish example of responding to filmmaking limitations with invention and droll wit. Mar 16, 2021 Full Review Carson Lund Slant Magazine Compellingly and surprisingly, the film doesn't propose an entirely celebratory view of our accountability-seeking present. Rated: 3.5/4 Mar 4, 2021 Full Review A.S. Hamrah The Baffler Filled with birdsong on the soundtrack, stitched together with fast tracking shots and whip pans, it's beautiful, too. Jan 18, 2022 Full Review Morris Yang In Review Online Specifically, Social Hygiene bemoans the healthy order of society -- but what is hygiene, if not order persevering? -- and posits, as its disinfectant, individual apathy. Jun 6, 2021 Full Review Carmen Paddock One Room With A View It is a biting, joyous look at multifaceted relationships doomed to failure, repetition, and hope. Rated: 4/5 Mar 5, 2021 Full Review Amber Wilkinson Eye for Film Côté has often played with artifice, particularly in his documentaries, and here he pushes things to experimental extremes. Rated: 3/5 Mar 3, 2021 Full Review Read all reviews
