getting out of the routine
A routine middle-class couple (both wonderfully acted by Miou-Miou and Charles Berling) who run a dry cleaning/laundry establishment become fascinated by a brother/sister drag/dance act at a local club.Through a series of happenings and coincidences, the brother side of the team (a brilliant Stanislas Merhar) ends up becoming the wife's lover, plus living with the couple, working for them in the dry cleaners and lusting after the husband who may or may not be a closet case. It may sound sordid, but it is not; the film is the epitome of taste and explores the many avenues a relationship can take.Fans of French pop culture will be especially thrilled to see Stanislas Merhar in drag performing as Sylvie Vartan!
