Côte d'Azur

REVIEW
Marc and Beatrix and their teenage children Laura and Charly shack up in a rustic house by the Mediterranean’s Cote D’azur. The seaside air seems to have a hormonal effect on the family and a few of their visitors: the shower becomes a masturbation chamber, while Charly and his equally adorable pal – or could it be boyfriend? – Martin seem to be up to something. When not pondering her son’s sexuality, Beatrix sneaks out for her own lusty rendezvous with a secret lover, Mattheiu. And as for poor Marc? Well, he’s got a naughty secret of his own. Add a hunky plumber, a cruising trail, and lots of aphrodisiac-loaded mollusks and you’ve got a summer to remember.

From lovers/director/writers Jacques Martineau and Olivier Ducastel (The Adventures of Felix) comes this truly delicious screwball comedy with a couple of musical numbers thrown in for good measure. Believe us, you’ll never think of family “outings” the same way again! (French with English subtitles)
