In French. 109 minute running time. This movie inexplicably won the Oscar in 1978 for best foreign film. It’s true that Carole Laure’s tits deserve an Oscar, but I’m not sure about the movie.

I like Bertrand Blier’s work, and really enjoyed his 1974 movie, Going Places. He makes weird movies for sure, but fun, lots of silly business. Gerard Depardieu’s nose was still fairly normal in 1977, and Patrick Dewaere’s chest hair is marvelous … I don’t know what I can say for Solange’s 13-year-old lover.

This was a John Farr reco and gets a yellow rating from me.
