After my first experience with this film I really didn't know how to feel about it. I laughed a lot, but felt guilty because a lot of what I was laughing at was quite disturbing, and would make the average viewer appalled. With that said, this film is not for everyone, but boy, after multiple viewings, it never ceases to make my eyes water, and belly ache.
A rather large and overweight 40-something gay man living in the French countryside has an affair with a teenage girl, only to be pursued by the town authorities and the girl's belligerent father. They run away together, evading everyone however they can.
The most lasting visual I have from this film is the overweight gay man spending much of his time running through the countryside half naked. And just because he's overweight doesn't mean he can't pull it. This man can run.
I won't tell much more. Get this film if you can. Like I said, it's strange, it's disturbing, but if you have a sense-of-humor that journeys to the left of center, I'm sure you'll get something out of it.
Great cast. Well directed. Beautifully shot. Ludovic Berthillot and Hafsia Herzi shine in the two lead parts.
