Romain


What a sweet character he was and with some of the best lines my favourite of which was: Pierre said it was a school of jerkoffs. And jerkettes, I added.

The headmaster had the best line though: a flagrant act of onanism!! Brilliant. This exemplifies the film's point; people do not talk about sex, even if they have to, or with their closest family members. Also in one of the final scenes Marie and her "sexual fulfilment" talk about sex, albeit it in an erotic way, and it seems to restore some lustre to their flagging relationship. It being good to talk about sex.

I might add that I watched the edited version of the film so any explicit moments were removed. I don't feel that this detracted from enjoying or understanding the film.

Keep silent unless what you are going to say is more important than silence.

As most French are Kathlicks, how would such a family as this get away with such behavior? Sex outside of marriage (fornication) is to them like going to the movies.

What a hit on French culture that Romain acts like he has leprosy because he's a virgin at age 18.
