very alike Reiser universe
17 March 2003
Warning: Spoilers
***SPOILERS*** ***SPOILERS*** one of the very good point for this movie is that it is very alike Reiser universe from wich it is inspired. The sex is as French as it can be, lots of bare chests, and more... The scene in the class, as the teacher flashes her panties to the little boys in front of her is so a happy view...It's the way i think sex should be viewed most of the time : as a happy, rejoicing thing. it is so sad all the paranoia about pedophilia. That scene is certainly not to be seen that way. The problem with american movies is that the little sex we see is always tainted with a bad-moral-orientation. e.g. : photo 1h.(W/Robin Williams) : the guy has a mistress : he is punished. The nakedness we see in the movie is associated with the punishment, the big knife.

Spoiler** In Vive Les Femmes, the nakedness is natural, the sex is funny, Pauline Lafont is georgeous although not enough present, she could have had an affair with Mammouth, poor guy, he finally gets her at the end...The director himself plays a blind guy, catching the undies of Lafont, lucky guy... Giraud is very good as the macho guy, becoming a submitted lover...the punch is marvelous(in both senses) as her mate yells at him, telling him he changed, he is too nice, too good for her, and...wham!!! he socks her in the eye....and she's glad!!!...That's Reiser humour...the inspiration for this movie (a comics-artist) So a 10/10...because so underrated movie
