Leans Traditional
Primary
The film is a romantic comedy centered on an individual's elaborate schemes to win affection, making its core conflict and championed solutions entirely personal and apolitical, thus not aligning with any specific political ideology.
The film features a predominantly traditional cast, consistent with French cinema of its era, without explicit efforts to diversify roles or challenge traditional identity portrayals. Its narrative maintains a neutral or positive framing of traditional identities, characteristic of its genre and time.
Secondary
The film centers on a romantic relationship where the woman is revealed to be transsexual. While attempting a progressive stance for its era, the narrative largely frames her identity as a secret and a source of conflict for the cisgender protagonist and his family. The comedic and dramatic elements often derive from the 'reveal' and the societal reactions, rather than affirming trans identity with consistent dignity.
