Summary
A drop of water falling from the guttering of a building causes a chain reaction ending
in a traffic jam which allows Gil Darmon, an aspiring painter, to meet Cat, a radio presenter.
It’s love at first sight and it’s not long before Cat has moved into the loft apartment
which Gil shares with his friend Bob, a sex-obsessed photographer. When a young
girl is abducted, Gil finds himself the prime suspect...
Review
The sequel to the popular comedy
Et la tendresse?... Bordel! (1979) is this
uninhibited anarchic romp which looks as if it has set out to break every taboo whilst
parodying social attitudes to love and sex. The film is painfully uneven – brilliantly
funny in places, excruciatingly laboured in others – and more politically incorrect than
you can imagine. Fabrice Luchini steals the show as a compulsive voyeur, although
the scenes where he is seen drooling over a pre-teen girl and later when he is seduced
by a stripping nun come dangerously close to the thin red line of acceptability.
There are some great jokes, but the film really is just too silly, too O.T.T., too provocative
to be anywhere near as satisfying as Patrick Schulmann’s earlier Bordel
film.
