The old and yet always new story of sexual addiction is told here in a fresh, cheeky, provocative and very French way.
One night, a self-sacrificing prostitute (Anouk Grinberg) from Lyon picks up a completely neglected homeless man (very virile: Gerard Lanvin). And then it happens as it has to happen. A strange love story of a very special kind takes its fateful course.
Other roles include Valeria Bruni Tedeschi (the more talented sister of the more famous Carla Bruni), Olivier Martinez (The Hussar on the Roof, 1995) and some well-known French actors. Director Bertrand Blier (son of the wonderful Bernard Blier) directs the film bluntly and directly. As a viewer, you fluctuate between fits of laughter and embarrassment.
Anouk Grinberg was awarded the Silver Bear at the BERLINALE 1996. Totally deserved!
Definitely a very original film!
