Trivia:
In the final scene in the garden - where Philipe is sitting on the bench, there is a poem by Dorothy Frances Gurney written on the bench. Many garden lovers have this poem written in their gardens. It says: "Kiss of the sun for pardon. Song of the birds for mirth. You're closer to God's heart in a garden than any place else on earth." more

more sexy and much more gross, 15 November 2007
7/10
Author: christopher-underwood from Greenwich - London

Seeing this again after a gap of many years I was struck by the fact that it seemed at once more sexy and much more gross. I remembered the humour and the surreal touches as well as the excellent performances from Marcello Mastroianni, Michel Piccoli and Phillippe Noiret but was surprised at the sensational and pivotal performance from the delightfully plump, Andrea Ferreol. The guys have arranged a giant eating session, later spiced up with the ordering of three prostitutes as we come to realise that their intention is to eat and f*** themselves to death. Andrea plays the 'innocent' local school teacher, also roped in and it is she who ends up showing the rest a thing or two. It is a marvellous, sexy and invigorating performance amidst the disgusting surroundings of gluttonous eating mixed with vomit and s**t. Not an easy view, I'm not even sure to whom I might recommend it. A restaurant critic perhaps!
