I agree to say that this movie is made like a comedy but for those who wants to take a better look they will this that their is much more behind this, it's the social role of wife and husband that are criticized : we can see that the husband propose to his wife to back together because he feels that he have to, he married her he have ti take responsibility, she refuses and he is so happy that she does. It really shows all the problems of the confrontation of two social models. I find really beautiful when the wife cries because of the sexual pleasure she has, because it shows all the fears she probably had, was she still a woman ? She was existing again, could be happy again after all the sadness she had felt, her marriage was constructed on her child now what was left of it ? I don't agree with the person that said the lawyer couldn't satisfy his mistress because i don't think so i think that if she masturbate herself it's more too show another sort of women, modern, she has different boyfriends, she decide of what she wants, she has as much of control as the guy, maybe more. It's a liberated woman (i don't know if it's English)
