There are laughs in it, yes, but how could anyone take this as a comedy?

French filmmaker Bertrand Blier didn't reinvent the wheel with 1974's Going Places, an adaptation (with cowriter Philippe Dumarçay) of his 1972 novel, but the film wouldn't have become an international sensation if he didn't push the envelope...

Christopher Lloyd

RTThe Film YapDec 12, 2022

Seen as a scampy sex comedy back in its day, this French film that made Gérard Depardieu a star may just be the most misogynistic film I've ever seen.

RTFilm FrenzyOct 18, 2022

An enormous hit in France and a lightning rod of controversy when it debuted stateside.
