Par l'odeur alléché... (2004) Directed by Jean Mach
Comedy
Film Synopsis
Tristan is an outlandish 25-year-old who takes a special delight in maltreating
women, believing that by doing so he is allowing them to play out their most
sordid personal fantasies. Far from being an out-and-out scoundrel,
he considers himself to be a benefactor to the fair sex, the kind of self-obsessed
modern Don Juan they dream about. He gladly accepts a wager from his
friends - Valérie, Mathieu and Christophe - that he can lure the beautiful
Morgane into bed and make a contented bitch of her. Without delay,
he begins subjecting his latest victim to his seductive foreplay, confident
that he will score another easy success...

The greatest French Films of all time
With so many great films to choose from, it's nigh on impossible to compile a short-list of the best 15 French films of all time - but here's our feeble attempt to do just that.
American film comedy had its heyday in the 1920s and '30s, but it remains an important genre and has given American cinema some of its enduring classics.
In the 1940s, the shadowy, skewed visual style of 1920s German expressionism was taken up by directors of American thrillers and psychological dramas, creating that distinctive film noir look.
In the 1920s French cinema was at its most varied and stylish - witness the achievements of Abel Gance, Marcel L'Herbier, Jean Epstein and Jacques Feyder.
