Usual French excuse for a bit of sex and nudity
17 September 2019
Another sensual portrait of intimacy by the French, with lots of sex and nudity. What a surprise. They're obsessed. This time a passionate lesbian affair is given the full on French movie treatment of a thin and contrived story line to support the main event, as it often is in French movies - sex and nudity. Once the plot line leads us there, it's off with the token backstory, the majority of the cast and of course the clothes. All tastefully done in nice surroundings near to nature - it's Art, you see. (Oh yeah?)

It's directed and written by a woman, which is blaringly obvious all the way through, it has that exclusively intimate aura that shouts 'Women are far more sensual and better at love than men, as you can see here.' The upside is the two leads are very good looking, well you'd probably want that as a producer to sell more tickets and DVDs wouldn't you. Good committed acting too, it has to be said. Highly predictable and typically titillating French film fayre that will probably bring that pause button into play. Watch with a bottle of fruity French wine.
