Femmes Fatales
A surreal, irreverent French comedy about male escape and social upheaval, blending absurdist humor with satirical commentary on marriage and masculine discontent.
Two men, fortyish, worn out by their wives, abandon everything to go and live in the back of beyond. There they meet a truculent priest, a boozer, Émile who recalls them to life's simple pleasures. Calm is what they want. But soon their example inspires thousands of disorientated males...
