He(1932)

He is a French comedy that follows the misguided efforts of Ms. Husson, a village matriarch determined to award the traditional title of "rosière"—a prize for virtue and beauty—to a worthy young woman. When she finds no suitable candidates among the village's eligible girls, she makes an audacious decision: she bestows the honor on Isidore, the village idiot. What unfolds is a satirical exploration of small-town hypocrisy and social pretension, as the unlikely recipient of this prestigious award upends the community's expectations. The film uses Isidore's innocent ascension to mock the arbitrary nature of respectability and the absurdity of rural social hierarchies, delivering sharp-edged humor through its examination of how easily institutions can be manipulated or rendered meaningless.
