You always approach modern films carefully and cautiously, sorry for the tautology. But, thank God, there are paintings like “Women from the 6th Floor” that allay your doubts and fears. This movie needs to be felt. It's impossible to understand him with reason! Maybe when you're 17 or 20, it won't impress you at all. Maybe when you're in your forties, but you're still like a mountain goat dancing in disco bars and nightclubs, it won't work either. But if you have any life experience behind you and you missed the kindness, missed the good old movie, in which there is no shadow and a hint of it all, this film will take you under the heart, squeeze your throat from the relationship of the protagonist with Spanish maids in France. How wonderful that in our harsh and pragmatic age, there is such a warm and bright movie!
Paris. Early '60s. The main character Jean Louis (Fabris Lucini) has in this life, if not all, then much. He is married, he has two sons, a beautiful wife, the work is not dusty, but profitable. One day, fate gave him a gift. What's the gift? Meet the Spanish maids, the lovely women living next door in the same house as Jean Louis. And if at first he turned his nose a little from what he was about to see, and I am talking about the dirty toilet in which Spaniards are forced to go, then in the future he behaved like a real noble gentleman: he called a plumber, allowed a maid to call from his apartment and generally became close to these ordinary Spanish women. Of course, it looks somewhat idealized and somewhat intentional, but I want to believe this story. You believe people like Jean Louis didn't translate!
And even when Maria Gonzalez takes a bath in his apartment, and he accidentally sees her beautiful young naked body, he does not wake up in the base call of the flesh, rather wakes up, but focuses his attention on his wife, which does him honor. Not everyone, not every man, frankly, can afford this. And it is still unknown what would have ended this story, if the wife of Jean Louis believed her husband and did not arrange a scene of jealousy for him.
I would like to mention Jorge Arriagade, who wrote the music for the film. It is such wonderful melodies that are designed to carry you along the flow of this bright picture. By the way, the film is also good because it inculcates the norms of ethics and morality, which are now oh, as necessary, simply necessary. And if at first the main character looks a little boring moralist, then then you realize that without it there is nowhere. He is such: a whole person and a person who can come to the aid of his neighbor without talking.
