L'amour propre ne le reste jamais très longtemps is a 1985 French comedy that dives into the often absurd world of sexual exploration. Gautier, played by Jean-Claude Dauphin, is this earnest guy who’s obsessed with the mechanics of female pleasure, and his determination leads to a series of awkward, yet humorous situations. Meanwhile, his buddy Roussel, portrayed by Jean-Luc Bideau, offers a nice contrast with his more carefree approach to dating. The film has a distinctive tone that balances raunchy humor with a subtle exploration of intimacy. The pacing feels a bit uneven at times, but it captures that late '80s vibe well; not everything hits, but there's a charm in its experimentation with relationships. And let's not forget those practical effects – they add a layer of authenticity to the farcical elements.
