L'origine du monde

I enjoyed this film. I'm not French but I get the humor. It's really funny the way Jean-Louis, Valerie and Michel conspire to obtain a non-digital photo of Jean-Louis' "origin." And dear Brigitte's unintended revelations are the piece de resistance. Surely, Helene Vincent is the darling of the show.

This film is an example of comedy as fine art.

Tired of comedies with similar storyline ?

Well, you will be in for a refreshing treat with this French comedy!

Careful, though, as it is VERY different !!!

Great casting.

I am french and already convinced by the selected actors of this movie. Discovering Laurent Lafitte as a movie maker and this is a success. The storie of this movie is surprising the audience until the end. Now i'm waiting for your second movie, Mr Lafitte!

Someone else here said only the French can do this and I totally concur .... maybe the Spanish could make this film in 2020 but all other nations I can think of would be too shy too reserved too uncomfortable to go there ....

It is an hilarious piece which contains or subsumes a lot of Freud a lot of psychotherapy some New-Age elements too and wraps it all up in a bawdy comedic piece in a slow deliberate fashion. We see it is entirely the creation of Laurent Lafitte from The Comédie Française; a register of highly-skilled actors; in which he is the main character/actor. The other 3 or 4 significant players here are also very good

Enjoy it ... it will test a lot of folks who believe they are francophiles .... but is worth the journey .... a solid 9 for me.

My husband and I laughed a lot watching the movie. And I recommend this movie if you like non-traditional movies. The story is surprising and unusual.
