This is a great movie by a major, if somewhat under-recognized, director. I hope that Amazon will acquire more of Sautet's films.

In the seventies you could only see movies in movie theatres and not every movie was shown. With internet you can search and reed about good movies.

[MADO - (1976) - directed by Claude Sautet - in French with English subtitles] Quintessential European star and national treasure Michel Piccoli portrays Simon, a wealthy middle-aged businessman who co-owns a company that is rapidly becoming insolvent due to the reckless spending habits, fuzzy accounting records and considerable debt amassed by his partner Julien. To make matters worse, the notes he's borrowing are being held by a notoriously unscrupulous businessman, Lepidon, with ties to organized crime. His racket is to lend enough notes of debt until they can't be repaid timely, then allowing his lawyers to issue letters of demand, and when repayment can't be made, negotiating a take over of the company with low-ball bids that amount to pennies on the dollar of the company's true worth, causing financial ruin to those who forged the companies with the sweat off their backs and the blood of their toils. Its another fine example of Capitalism at its finest kids.

Upon disclosure of these activities and overcome with guilt, Julien ends up committing suicide. Simon and his father, who is a partner as well, gather their attorneys to assess the damages, and it's none too pretty a picture. In fact, it makes a Goya painting look like a Georgia O'Keefe watercolor. They begin selling assets to make the note payments, but still come up short. At the same time, Simon, who's divorced, is going through a mid-life crisis, and has a quasi-relationship with Mado, a 'working girl' in her early twenties he sees several times a week. Her demeanor reminds him that the women of today aren't the compliant creatures he recalls from his youth. They share a group of acquaintances, some personal, some professional, so their social lives overlap periodically, and sometimes a bit too often.
