Movie Reviews of Confusion of Genders
Movie Review: Leave It To The French To Serve Up Angst
Summary: 4 Stars
In "Confusion of Genders," French director Ilan Duran Cohen's central character Alain (Pascal Greggory) has so many sexual alliances that you literally have to draw a diagram with him in the center and arrrows pointing to his many lovers to keep the story straight. (No pun intended.) He and his legal colleague Laurence (Nathalie Richard) manage to make a baby although they each acknowledge that they are not in love with each other. ("Love is a prison." On the other hand, someone in the film opines that "a marriage of convenience is so sad.") Then Alain is pursued-- and caught-- by the young frisky Christophe (Cyrille Thouvenin) and they eventually move in together while the pregnant Laurence is pretty much left on her own. (One of the most erotic scenes in the film has Christophe and Alain brushing their teeth while wearing only their underwear.) Alain also gets a crush on a client of his, Marc, (Vincent Martinez) who is in prison for murder and wants him to be the go-between to take messages to his girlfriend Babette (Julie Gayet), a quite beautiful hairdresser. As you would suspect by now, Alain is attracted to her as well.
To call Alain indecisive is an understatement. While his ego must be bursting with all these different people of both sexes vying for his affection, I had trouble grasping his charisma. But then I'm not French. The movie, on the other hand, is beautifully filmed. Certainly no one does well-lit angst better than the French.
Summary of Confusion of Genders
Based on a best selling novel of the same name, Confusion of Genders is an uninhibited romantic satire that tells the story of Alain (Pascal Greggory), who is having an office romance with a female colleague Laurence (Nathalie Richard). Unfortunately her younger brother Christophe (Cyrille Thouvenin) likes him as well. Alain however, doesn't know what he wants. Men, women, commitment and freedom are luring him in every direction but he is incapable of choosing. Or willing. When Alain encounters sexy, dangerous Marc (Vincent Martinez), the only way to get close to him is to become the messenger of Marc's passion (the sexy Babette, played by Julie Gayet), an entrancing woman whose charms Alain can not resist. Unfortunately, by this time, Christophe has moved into Alain's flat and Laurence is expecting his child and his hand in marriage. Will Alain find a compromise that will be acceptable to all?Art House & International DVD Video
