Review of Ménage

Ménage (1986)
1/10
Vulgar, misogynistic and silly
4 June 2022
Yet another misguided summary on IMDb describes the Depardieu character named Bob as "bisexual", but if you follow the plot, Bob is actually gay with minimal interest in women.

At a ball Bob meets crummy, quarrelling couple Monique and Antoine and taking a fancy for Antoine, decides to involve the two of them into his life of burglaries. All this taking place with the most vulgar dialogues and surreal sequences. Bob tries hard to seduce Antoine, who resists until the day Monique manages to get to bed with a most uninterested Bob.

Once Antonio and Bob become an item, Monique turns into their housekeeper until Bob decides to get rid of her, only to get bored with Antoine and to go out looking for other preys.

After a mild melodramatic and silly scene at a ball, the stupid plot wraps up in a total incoherent way with Bob, Antoine and Monique working as street walkers. If you give a damn about these disgusting people, you may wonder why Bob would give up his thriving career as a burglar to walk the streets, but then again very little makes sense in this film.
