film: A Slightly Pregnant Man at PFA in Berkeley

Tales of Love: The Enchanted World of Jacques Demy

7:00 p.m. A Slightly Pregnant Man
Jacques Demy (France/Italy, 1973)

PFA Theater Location
2575 Bancroft Way

(L'événement le plus important depuis que l'homme a marché sur la lune). This farce was supposedly conceived in response to a remark from Demy's wife, Agnès Varda: "If you men could get pregnant, you'd behave differently with women." Driving instructor Marcello Mastroianni and his hairdresser wife Catherine Deneuve are faced with an unexpected pregnancy—his. "Things we find abnormal now may be normal in the future," says Marcello's doctor; indeed, the film is both very much of its time (doctors smoking in the exam room, sets saturated in shades of orange) and, with its TV pundits debating socio-moral implications while marketers rejoice in pregnancy's commercial possibilities, quite at home in ours.
