Watchlist:

Two men, fortyish, worn out by their wives, abandon everything to go and live in the back of beyond. There they meet a truculent priest, a boozer, Émile who recalls them to life's simple pleasures. Calm is what they want. But soon their example inspires thousands of disorientated males...

Critical Reception & Ratings

Femmes Fatales, the 1976 comedy directed by Bertrand Blier, has received a mixed critical reception. While some have praised its quirky humor and social commentary, others have found the film to be uneven and somewhat meandering. It has not received any major awards recognition, but has garnered a modestly positive audience reception with a 6.6/10 rating on IMDb.

Why you might like this:

Fans of offbeat French comedies will likely appreciate the quirky, deadpan humor and social satire in Bertrand Blier's 1976 film Femmes Fatales, which features standout performances from veteran actors Jean-Pierre Marielle and Jean Rochefort as a pair of middle-aged men seeking a simpler life away from their nagging wives.
