Going Places
Directed by Bertrand Blier
Produced by CAPAC, S.N. Prodis
A transgressive, anarchic comedy-drama that uses petty criminality and sexual transgression to mock bourgeois values while exploring the aimlessness and moral emptiness of its protagonists.
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.
