Tenue de Soirée (1986)
Member Rating:  
Menage begins as a comedy of sorts, but be warned: it develops into a very dark, very confusing probe into the seamier aspects of Parisian life. Gerard Depardieu plays a crude but charismatic thief, whose own gayness does not prevent his commiserating with those of the opposite sex. Miou-Miou and Michel Blanc are young, impoverished lovers who fall under Depardieu's influence. He gains their confidence by introducing them to kinky sex, then sucks them into a vortex of crime. Director Bertrand Blier, who in most of his films has explored the awesome power (rather than pleasure) of sex, nearly outdoes himself in Menage (aka Tenue de Soiree). ~ Hal Erickson, Rovi

    Like a kaleidescope, the more the characters interact the more they change: from role reversal to role subversal to role inversal. Humorous and frustrating.

    French farse at its worst - hard to believe that Depardieu would lend his talents to such a stupid movie. But I did learn that cosmetics can even make Depardieu look pretty! Maybe that is the point of the story?
