Marius et Jeannette

 

Romance by Robert Guédiguian
-Year: 1997
-Year in film: 1990  
-Country: France
-Who in bibs: woman, girl ~5
-Available on DVD: yes 
-I own: yes
-Bib occurrence: very low
-Rating:  3/10
-Rating: ***
-Comment: Next to the main characters (wife of director and school friend who appeared in most movies) in coveralls (man in red and blue) see also Dernier été (1981), and a very young girl shirtless in black striped shortalls, I now found a short haired young lady in blue bibs and sleeveless shirt at 20 minutes (very brief scene standing, front and rear). The red shortalls of the other toddler girl turned out to be a dress.

Very good is also an older teen girl in regular Levi's (rear view at 6). Some few young boys starring but not in bibs. Widescreen. The French DVD has French audio and no subtitles. It's also available in dubbed versions (not containing Dernier été).

Most popular Guédiguian movie but rather a typical one. I first wasn't aware that almost all movies have the same main characters and almost same setting (Estaques near Marseille). But all movies are different. This was the last film I bought (same box as Dernier été). On the DVD of the other movie there's a 1h30 2012 interview/documentary (I first thought it's an audio commentary). Very interesting with extracts of many movies, I haven't found online. Very good descriptions and backgrounds of the movies and a book in English I found on this book blog (no screenshots)

For the bibs rating ~2-3 only. Movie itself ~4-5. But "Dernier été" and "L'argent fait le bonheur" (rating 7) are much better. I doubt that there are better ones (with bibs), but I'm still searching. Very interesting (plots) next to "Ki lo sa?" is also "Rouge Midi (1984)" and "A la vie, a la mort" latter 2 ones no bibs scenes known.
