Skinopsis

This tale of a French dude who bangs a successful French chick for money features a pretty hot sex scene in which he takes time out of his busy man-whoring schedule to give his wife (Isabelle Carré) a taste of his missionary thrust all while her naked titties are bare on-screen. See below for official synopsis.

French icon Nathalie Baye (Tell No One, Catch Me If You Can) stars as Judith, the host and owner of a home shopping TV program. Divorced, successful but wary of love, she selects younger male lovers from a host of escorts on the Internet.

It's wonderfully impersonal—and satisfying—until the day she chooses Marco (Eric Caravaca), a charmingly sheepish man who is clearly not a pro. He's just desperate for money to keep his wife's new business afloat. Marco doesn't want his wife to find out. His wife doesn't want the money to stop flowing. And Nathalie doesn't want to fall in love. None of them get what they want. Or do they?

Review

Directed, written and co–starring Josiane Balasko (French Twist), this delightfully droll sex comedy stars Nathalie Baye as a divorced middle–aged woman who learns she can't escape emotional entanglements: one pays for it one way or the other. TV Infomercial presenter Judith (Baye) believes she's found a way to have a satisfying sexual life amidst her chaotic professional life: instead of messy relationships, she opts instead for straightforward sexual servicing through a series of male escorts she chooses on the Internet. Her sister Irene (Balasko) and next–door neighbor couldn't disagree more, but Judith is adamant this laissez–faire arrangement works. And it does work for her until unconventional escort Patrick (Eric Caravaca) enters her life. Handsome in a suburban way and new to the servicing game, Patrick (a.k.a. Marco in his real life) and Judith hit it off beautifully. As their arrangement escalates, Judith's frozen emotional state begins to thaw, but all is thrown into chaos when Patrick's wife discovers that his days are not spent on a construction site. This is a classy, thoroughly enjoyable affair, assisted in no small part by the great acting of the three leads.
