‘Life Is Rosy’

Belgium-Zaire-France, 1987, 86 minutes , 10:20 p.m. Belgium’s Benoit Lamy and Zaire’s Ngangura Mweze co-directed this bouncy, infectious, music-filled comedy in which an aspiring singer and the equally poverty-stricken beautiful secretary he loves are beset by a comically awful nouveau riche couple who do everything possible to interfere with the younger couple’s pursuit of happiness. Social satire has rarely been such good-natured fun.

RECOMMENDED.
