Synopsis

Paul and Agnès have been going out for quite a while and Agnès is shocked to learn that he’d rather live with two roommates on campus than move in with her. As soon as he meets one of his roommates, Louis-Anault, Paul’s behavior changes – he is attracted to Louis without realizing so himself. Agnès, on the other hand, gets quite jealous and offers a bet: Whoever gets to have Louis-Anault first, wins… If she does, Paul will no longer explore his homosexual desires, if he does – she’ll walk away. Meanwhile, Paul meets Mecir, a young Arab worker, who shows him there’s more to life than elite colleges… –IMDb

Sex as a humorless permutation game. But this one is profonde because, wait for it, it has Class and Immigration too.

Based on a play, it reminded me of another, older piece of French literature, "Les Liaisons Dangereuses" which itself has received multiple stage and filmic adaptations.

Just finished watching it. More like a conversation about the class divide with a very loose plot about a bet between a couple as to who seduces Loius Anault. And then that plot sort of fades away. And there are lot of conversation on social divides and the politics of sex. Interesting, but won't appeal to everyone. PS. What's with the Sri Lankan song in the end...
