About This Movie

Retrosex is a curious little film from 2016, directed by Jean-Baptiste Saurel. Set in a future where the youth are convinced that the past had a certain charm regarding intimacy, it’s a quirky blend of comedy and nostalgia. The pacing is a bit uneven, but that kind of fits the vibe of these teenagers stumbling through their quest. The practical effects are delightfully low-fi, adding to its charm. Performances lean into an exaggerated style, which heightens the humor and absurdity. The film's exploration of sexual norms and the longing for simpler times gives it a unique flavor, making it stand out in the landscape of futuristic comedies. It’s definitely one of those films that sticks with you for its light-hearted yet poignant commentary.
