Overview
Two whimsical, aimless thugs harass and assault women, steal, murder, and alternately charm, fight, or sprint their way out of trouble. They take whatever the bourgeoisie holds dear, whether it’s cars, peace of mind, or daughters. Marie-Ange, a jaded, passive hairdresser, joins them as lover, cook, and mother confessor. She’s on her own search for seemingly unattainable sexual pleasure.
MovieMagicScore Overview
Auto-generatedBertrand Blier's provocative 1974 French comedy-drama follows two aimless, amoral drifters who careen through the countryside seizing whatever they please, until a jaded young woman joins them on her own restless search for fulfillment. Deliberately transgressive and satirical, the film skewers bourgeois values and conventional morality with a deadpan, anarchic sensibility. Its frank, button-pushing content and freewheeling tone marked it as a controversial work of its era. With a MagicMovieScore of 6.7, it is intended for adventurous adult viewers interested in challenging French cinema that confronts taboo and social hypocrisy head-on.
