Well, what can I say about it. So we see the men and women eating very often. The associated abdominal and intestinal complaints are also extensively discussed. The nude is also not excluded.
At times the film is funny, but the film could have been a little shorter.
The ending was a bit disappointing, I would rather have seen the film then it was over so suddenly.
Hmm, I've seen it once, but a second viewing is no longer necessary, the film has too little to offer for that.

Sometimes unbearable to watch, this satire on the greed and sex drive of our society, attitude that leads to destruction.
In any case, a remarkable film for which four superstars lent themselves and acted equally remarkable. It should also be noted that in the film they bear their real first name and that Michel Piccoli's father is assigned a small role.
Clearly discredited when it was released because of the unpleasantness of the event, but still a very remarkable film.
