Cockles & Muscles


I totally adored this film. Even though in French with sub titles - it made me laugh. It absolutely made a dull Bank Holiday Monday sparkle. This is this kind of sex comedy that only the French can do. A couple are holiday in the South of France. Their son's friend turns up - and the couple believe they are in a gay relationship. Meanwhile the wife's lover arrives, and the son (even though he is not gay) meets a plumber who turns out to be his father's former lover. A real farce - in the true sense. Much of the action centres on the need for relief in showers. Its a long time since I've heard a cinema audience laugh out loud so easily and genuinely. Go see.
