An old-fashioned notary must save his dilapidated castle and prevent his daughter from marrying a pretentious golden boy. The fortune promised by a dying countess to a young bohemian artist could solve all his problems. Provided that the future heir becomes a good Catholic and falls in love with the pretty fiancée.

Our read · De mauvaise foi (2025) reads as a warm, kinetic, grounded comedy entry — gentle in intensity, mid-stakes in scope, tender in temperature, redemptive in outlook. Hand-scored on twelve axes of taste — mood, pacing, weirdness, hope, stakes, humour, reality, density, warmth, auteur, intensity, and era — with a derived palette drawn from its dominant cinematography.
