A Slightly Pregnant Man

1973, 1h 36min -

Feeling out of sorts, Marco (Marcello Mastroianni), an Italian driving instructor living in Paris, pays a visit to the doctor, who promptly diagnoses him as . . . four months pregnant. It’s the medical miracle heard round the world, as Marco becomes fodder for the press, a curiosity to the scientific community, and a cash cow for a maternity-wear company—while leaving his hairdresser wife (Catherine Deneuve) alternately gobsmacked and delighted. Jacques Demy, directing in his très charmant, candy-colored visual style, plays the absurdist premise for both cheery comedy and slyly subversive social commentary, raising serious questions about male-female social roles and gender equality.
