Now I was not aware of the previous movies the director (and star) of this movie had done. He apparantly was quite the rebel and had quite the interesting ideas back in the day. In this or rather with this, he seems to fulfill a personal ... dream I reckon you could call it. Answering if he can still get it up and do it - and that means exactly what you think it means.

Now the version he released is void of explicit sex - at least that's what it looks like, I have not gone frame by frame to check if there is some frames that actually reveal something. Although revealing it still is - lots and lots of nudity. I can only guess that he keeps an uncut version or directors cut version for his own pleasure - literally.

Now the way this is shot is quite artistic if you think of it and how much effort they went through, so you can't see anything - although towards the end there is some blurring, so even that they gave up on. Also the pseudo intellectual talk during the movie about women and men, worldviews on erotica and more are not shocking or revealing. They are just ramblings of an old man - now don't get me twisted, I'm not hating. Good for him for ... pleasuring so many women (really a lot, not exaggerating!), but as a movie for others this does not really work. It can be enticing and arousing for some, because even though the framing doesn't allow us a clear view, we still know what's going on - and we can hear them having (fake?) fun.

It might have been a good idea overall, but Chasing the muse is neither philosophical nor as erotic as it thinks it is. Although if anything it is the latter rather than the former ... reducing the "Muse" to nothing more than a sex object. Which I gues overall might feel "right" on how general women are viewed, but it would make a more interesting point if you'd have some intelligent dialog and conversations coming from women too - no pun intended

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.
