Confusion of Genders | Year: 2000 Classification: Foreign Film - French Directed: - Ilan Duran Cohen Confusion of intent What was the intent of this film? Oh, yes, some call this a comedy. And I suppose it is, in a very dry way. Don't expect the obvious, slapstick-based French humor of a Francis Veber movie. But this movie pretends to be more than a comedy. I have to agree with the other reviewer who called this "pretentious French nonsense." That's pretty much what this is -- take it from a foreign film fan who has several French movies on his all-time favorites list. This is the sort of film where the characters almost always say the opposite of what they feel -- just for effect. Rarely is there any real dialogue. All the characters (unlikable, for the most part) tend to make pronouncements that have nothing to do with what the other character just said. The main character, in particular, is unbearable. In this movie, he is irresistibly attractive to men and women alike, but the source of his allure remains a mystery throughout. We see him as selfish, uninteresting, depressed, confused and entirely unaware of his internal thoughts and feelings. I'd recommend giving this a pass. Pretentious French Nonsense Now I know why so many people who travel, say that they are sick of the French. I did not care what happened to any of these self-serving, self-aggrandizing, self-centered, and annoyingly selfish characters. Hmmm, I wonder if a pattern is developing here? They all seem to have confused rudeness with sophistication. The direction was haphazard and the acting entirely too "precious." These people wouldn't know love if it presented itself naked, prone and ready to be mounted. Finally a movie with gay characters and no one dies! Recently I've been renting a lot of gay movies because I was buying them and sadly disappointed by the unhappy endings so many of them have! This was a great movie with interesting characters, a plot line that was followable and attractive people, both gay, straight, bi and well just about everything. Purchased the movie right after watching it. Following a story of a man who loves. Doesn't matter what the sex is, just loves. There are women, there are men. It's a good movie. I recommend it.
