The film begins with John being visited by his ex-girlfriend, who has returned the apartment they once shared in order to pick up her things. Things don't go well and they end up arguing and she leaves. Not long after, a woman from next door knocks and asks him to come and help her move a cabinet. When he goes in, he meets the woman's friend/sister (we're never sure which) and they begin to act strangely towards him, so he leaves.
I remember, when watching the **** film Melissa P, there's a scene where the slutty schoolgirl is about to do two guys at once. I started getting a semi at this point, but sadly they cut away before it got going. In this film, there's a scene that got me similarly aroused, only far more so, to the point that I need some tissues by the end of it.
The scene starts with him going next door once again to sit with the younger of the two women. She's pretty hot, looks a bit like a prime Vanessa Paradis, only better and with more of a chest. She starts telling a story of how she was once alone, when three plumbers arrived and started to behave suggestively towards her, and she ended up ****ing all three of them. While telling the story, she's touching herself, and then she starts touching him. As they're about to get down to it, she starts punching him in the face, and eventually he loses his temper and punches her back. This doesn't stop the passion between them, infact they take it in turns to hit one another while having sex.
Am I a bit twisted for getting turned on by all that? Probably, but I blame all the other warped films I've seen for that...
From this point on, most of the film is a head**** which eventually comes to make sense as it nears the conclusion.
I thought this film was great. It's a bit short, but there are many films (good and bad) which feature too much filling, and the running time ensures that there's no pointless or boring moments.
One of the best foreign-language films I've seen.
8.5
