Roger, a downtrodden reporter, has a brilliant idea: train his son Michel to open and close a door as fast as possible in the hopes of beating a world record. If Michel does this 40,000 times, Roger wins a brand new car. Getting in the way is Roger's obsessive, domineering nature that obscure his love for his family.
We hate to say it, but we can't find anywhere to view this film.

Christian Science Monitor by David Sterritt
Sensitive, imaginative.

Mariage takes his time and allows the film to drift in an almost ostentatiously casual manner.
75
New York Daily News by Jami Bernard
Poignant, eccentric comedy.

This grim black comedy from Belgium would be unbearable if it wasn't scripted with such wry humor.

Delightfully quirky.
