Cathy Duprey has just gotten a job as a meter maid. Her boyfriend wakes her up by forcing her to fellate him, and then the two have sex for fifteen minutes. Then Cathy goes to the employment office, where a bunch of women are sitting around masturbating. 33 minutes into the 83-minute film, she finally gets her uniform.
I had already pretty much lost patience with L'AUBERGINE by this point, though it earns a touch of goodwill back with a few amusing scenes of Cathy and her coworker, Mika Barthel, on the street, handing out tickets and getting into arguments with drivers. Seems no matter where you live, no one is particularly thrilled to receive a parking ticket. One of the women wanders into a porn theater and watches and then participates in some of the action, while the other rents her uniform to a prostitute so she can fulfil a john's sex fantasy - though since he's late, the two end up making it together first. Everything ends with an orgy, which is arrived at by some narrative avenue I no longer remember. Or maybe it isn't - I was barely paying attention by this point.
L'AUBERGINE EST BIEN FARCIE (literally "The Eggplant is Well Stuffed," though the subtitles give it the much more pedestrian porn appellation "The Meter Maid Gets Laid") is absolutely dire, bereft of any interest in its selling point and ticking off sex scenes like clockwork. Like a lot of French porn from this period, the sex is mechanical and uninvolving. The improvised scenes on the street keep this from being a total wash (it's amusing to watch passers-by startled as they realize they're wandering onto a live film set), but aside from that, this EGGPLANT is rotten to the core.
