(05/14/1986, Len.): "...Arcand deploys a smart script, fluent technique and a first-rate cast for this deviously sardonic comedy of carnal manners..." |

"They talked about sex all afternoon as if they were getting ready for an orgy. Instead, the big deal is a fish pie." -- Mario (GABRIEL ARCAND) |

| Details: |
Acclaimed Canadian director Denys Arcand's witty comedy focuses on the marriages and affairs of eight intellectual friends. The group has plans to gather at a secluded house for dinner. While the four men prepare the food and reflect on their promiscuity, the four women discuss their own affairs at a nearby gym. At the dinner table, conflicts soon arise when Dominique, who teaches history at the local university, reveals that she herself has had affairs with two of the men there -- one of whom is married to Louise, also present. The entire evening turns into a disaster, with everyone at each other's throats. This Oscar-nominated Canadian film explores the subjects of marriage, infidelity and sex when a group of friendly intellectuals get together for a weekend in the country. |
