Peindre ou faire l'amour

A seductive tableau painted with a vibrant palette of colours and some spirited performances (especially Azéma), the film's direction however is unclear and impossible to second guess. At a certain point the whimsical lives of these affluent, attractive baby-boomers become a bit too self-indulgent and overwhelm the subtleties of the relationships and emotions, which could be worth a second look. A mixture of modern French self-analysis and unspoken New Wave formlessness. Almost very good.

This is a soft porn and a ridiculous one in that. The genre couldn't be comedy. Impossible... It's just about a retired old couple finding peace in swinging partners with a younger one. The whole premis is so weird... I only finished it out of curiosity. I waited for some tension to happen, you know, jealosy or something but no.. they are content.
