Featured review
French Twist is a light comedy movie, which raise the issue of homosexuality to spectators. The story is about that Loli was not fully satisfied with her husband, Laurent. He is work at a local estate agency, and falling out of love enthusiasm to her. Then Loli met Marijo who is a lesbian happen to visit to her house, and have a relationship. Laurent try to get back Loli, but he goes irrational way. The story is good because the characters build a relationship with each other, which is nobody, wants to expect and see. This plot is not a typical holly wood model, so audience cannot foresee the story and the do not get bored. This movie includes a lot of sexual expressions. It's prohibited for teenagers to watch the naked or sexual expression in Japan and U.S., but this movie does not hide such kind of scenes. I'm not sure if this is the general in Europe, but they seem not to hesitate. Loli is described as an emotional woman. I guess she was frustrated by Laurent's attitude for women to woman because he had thought that women generally are obey men because man feed women, and should only house work and take care of children. A decade ago this thought is also taken it for granted in Japan. Her act reflect the women's frustration in this era, and she recharged by the way indirectly.
