Just for Laughs

1997 · 100 min

A wry, talky French comedy of tangled affairs, more amused by its characters' deceptions than scandalised by them.

Directed by
Lucas Belvaux
Genres
Comedy, Romance
Overview
Michel and Juliette have just broken up over Michel's affair with the much younger Romance. Alice and Nicolas are still together, but maybe this is because Nicolas does not know of Alice's affair with handsome sports photographer Gaspard. This sly sex comedy, the sophomore effort of Belgian filmmaker Lucas Belvaux, follows the covert sexual misadventures of the troubled foursome.
