A complex, confessional examination of [Jean-Claude Brisseau's] twisted, thorny and ultimately ambiguous feelings toward women and sex.

Endless auditions get the annoying Francois nowhere closer to grasping what turns women on.

Critics I admire have assured me that many of Brisseau's earlier films are less silly, more interesting, and even commendable.

... the film is passably entertaining but dramatically inert.
