You'll have a hard job staying awake ....

This is a pathetic waste of time, a travelogue posing as a sex film. The main character Annie suffered an attack by a client in a former job and has developed a frigidity towards men. Despite this she is happy to wander off with any man she bumps into but becomes hysterical when they make any moves on her. Annie Friedman as the main character wears the skimpiest outfits to show off her modest assets but they don't help her acting ability which are zilch. Most of the film is an advert for the sights of Saint Tropez and Rio including Macumba ceremonies, Nudist Beaches, Carnival and farming(!!!). Even these don't hold the attention and the film wanders off into complete aimlessness, just like it's heroine. Utterly, despairingly, dreadful!

French-language cinema, whether in France, Québec, or other Francophone regions, explores cultural identity, social change, and the tension between the individual and society. French cinema is not only celebrated for its intellectual experimentation and auteur traditions, but also its success in mainstream comedy, romance, and commercial entertainment. In Québec, films often focus on questions of language, belonging, and community within a distinct cultural landscape.

The drama genre is a broad category that features stories portraying human experiences, emotions, conflicts, and relationships in a realistic and emotionally impactful way. Dramas delve into the complexities of human life, often exploring themes of love, loss, morality, societal issues, personal growth, with the aim to evoke an emotional response from the audience by presenting relatable and thought-provoking stories.
