Why you might like this:
Clockwork Bananas, directed by the acclaimed Jean-François Davy in 1974, is a delightfully subversive comedy that blends sly social satire with uproarious farce. Featuring a standout ensemble cast led by Philippe Gasté, this offbeat romp follows the misadventures of a group of friends who start an unconventional brothel catering to women, offering a refreshingly gender-flipped take on the sex industry. Davy's sharp, irreverent style and the film's clever, boundary-pushing premise make Clockwork Bananas a must-see for fans of boundary-pushing, unconventional comedies.
