other title: 奇妙的爱情 / Heirat ausgeschlossen …
Writer-director Paul Mazursky was one of several filmmakers of the 1960s and 1970s to turn his attention to the growing social tensions caused by the liberalization of sex roles and more open attitudes to love and marriage. His explorations of permissive relationship began famously in 1969 with Bob and Carol and Ted and Alice and extended to his most successful film, An Unmarried Woman, in 1978, centering on a newly divorced woman. Between the two, in 1973, he concocted this bittersweet comedy, which features George Segal as a man who falls in love with his ex-wife after she has divorced him for cheating on her. Slyly probing the complexities of contemporary marriage, Mazursky's story is a prime example of the relationship-centered films of the 1970s.

The Landlord WikiData IMDb TMDB Douban
other title: 地主 / 同屋共住 …
Twenty-nine year old Caucasian Elgar Enders still lives at the estate of his parents, William and Joyce Enders, and off their vast wealth with their blessing, although his ultra-conservative father hopes that some day Elgar will have some drive and make a name for himself, much as he believes his eldest son, William Jr., has done. Elgar decides finally to move out, and buys a tenement house in Park Slope, Brooklyn, a rough neighborhood seemingly on the verge of gentrification. He plans to tear it down and build a new house for himself. Although they have no idea of his plans, the tenants of the building, exclusively black, do not welcome their young, lily-white new landlord with open arms. They believe he is just another slum white landlord who wants their money, although most of them are indeed several months behind in their rent. Despite their antagonistic beginning, Elgar, after spending time with his tenants and learning their stories, decides to be a proper landlord and fix up the building for them and for him to live in. Elgar's transition into liberal minded lover of his black brothers and sisters is not without its problems as he deals with some tenants who are indeed deadbeats, his parents who just don't understand and agree with this phase of his life, and race relations where the color of one's skin does affect how they are treated in life and in turn how they interact with others. The latter is epitomized by his relationships with Lanie, a biracial woman who he initially believed was white, and with husband and wife tenants Copee and Fanny to who he gets a little too close
