Et la tendresse ?… Bordel !

About This Movie

Et la tendresse ?… Bordel ! is this intriguing blend of dark comedy and social commentary, steeped in the late '70s French aesthetic. The film revolves around Francois, a rather misogynistic figure running an Eros Club, with his wife Carole suffering in silence, revealing a sharp critique on gender dynamics. Then there's Julie, who spirals into madness after catching her husband. The pacing feels almost erratic at times, much like the characters' emotional states. Practical effects might not be the highlight here, but the performances are what stand out—raw and unfiltered, capturing the essence of the era. There's a biting tension throughout that keeps you engaged, making it a distinctive piece of cinema from that time.

This film has had a limited home media release, making it a bit of a gem for collectors. It often pops up in discussions about lesser-known French cinema from the era, attracting those interested in offbeat comedies. Its scarcity, coupled with the quirky subject matter, adds to its appeal among niche collectors who appreciate films that challenge societal norms, even if it’s not widely recognized.
