Get Out Your Handkerchiefs

In this provocative and uncompromising French comedy-drama, a desperate husband tries to cure his depressed wife of her "doldrums" by introducing her to her lover, but ultimately finds himself outdone by her unexpected infatuation with a 13-year-old math prodigy. The film's unconventional exploration of bisexuality, classical music, and the complexities of adult relationships is both daring and deeply unsettling, making it a true original of French New Wave cinema.
