5.0 out of 5 stars
awesome, December 27, 2005
this movie is an open minded movie during the 17th century in France. Costumes, contry sides, french slang and vincent perez nude frontal....
very funny if you understand french and if you're liberal...
two thumbs up

3.0 out of 5 stars
Attempted translation of description, January 1, 2005
I cannot rate this film because I haven't seen it. I wish to neither recommend nor condemn it. So I give it 3 stars as a means of remaining neutral.
The purpose here is to offer a possible translation of the French description of the film. Since I have not seen it, I must interpret here and there, fill in a blank or two (some things are grammatically or contextually inferred) and offer alternative meanings. Hopefully, this will give you a general idea of what this film contains.
"A crazy day [in the life] of a (male) libertine summoned by a
thousand pleasures, attracted [lured?] by several women... Diderot, in the hands of an adventuress, is subjected to the excessive gastronomic desires of a baroness. (He) struggles against the censure of an execrable red cardinal and attempts to control the (sexual) assaults of his wife, his daughter, a nymphomaniac lady knight, and a young girl who wants to lose her virginity before evening. A torrid and excentric day, a moment of flesh, silk and wit, where philosophy plays teasingly with eroticism."
Perhaps a professional translator can do better. But that's basically it.
