| Offbeat black comedy, not very funny but a good deal more enjoyable than Blier's previous film along the same lines, Les Valseuses (Going Places). Depardieu and Dewaere continue their partnership from that film, and work well together. Despite critical acclaim for the film's eagerness to tackle taboo topics, it's all oddly pointless, unless it is to show the dislocation between sex and emotion; and there's something unpleasantly creepy about the denouement, where the wife finds sexual fulfilment with a 13 year-old. |
