The Ladies Man
The legendary, completely open doll's house set is less of a backdrop than a unique laboratory for Lewis' comedy. Here, he explores movements, glances and misunderstandings across multiple levels, turning architecture into a vehicle for humour. A radical conception of cinema as spatial composition. As a shy bachelor, he stumbles between feeling overwhelmed, wanting to flee and childlike curiosity through a house full of aspiring actresses – the only man among 31 women.

‘What the cock of the walk can only dream of becomes a pubertal nightmare for Jerry. Hounded and pampered, fattened up on a child's chair or declared the girl Friday – Jerry is all too familiar with the symbolic servitude of the Yankee man.’
(Robert Benayoun)
