Bertrand Blier, aging provocateur, makes a match between a streetwalker and a street person, promptly promoted to pimp. The male-fantasy clichés of the former (heart of gold; loves her work; occasional freebies) are just the beginning of the escalating absurdities. At the end, Blier, through the mouth of his ungrateful hero, asks the entire opposite sex for forgiveness. There is every reason to take him unseriously. Musical selections from Barry White (voice of the flesh) and Henryk Gorecki (voice of the spirit). With Anouk Grinberg and Gerard Lanvin. (1996) — Duncan Shepherd
