Chroniques Sexuelles D'Une Famille D'Aujourd'Hui (2012)
Has anyone seen this movie? It kind of qualifies here because the older son in the family is bi (or bi-curious)
and also he’s hot
It’s very French, quite funny, and shot in cinéma-vérité style - “a style of film-making characterized by realistic… films which avoid artificiality” and, uh *coughs* it sure does that
You see, the film kicks off with the premise that the mum is confronted by the headmaster (she’s just been summoned to the school) suspending the younger son who’s just been caught at school in biology class “wiggling the weasel” under the desk and filming it to fulfil a dare by his classmates.
Which leads to mum+dad engaging with their sons about what they get up to and where they might have ‘gone wrong’. And so one thing leads to another as the cameras follow the various family members around while they, er, get up to what they get up to…
But here’s the thing - because it’s cinéma-vérité what you see is actually happening, not faked…
There’s an interview online with the film’s directors and the principal actor (the younger son) in French (link below) + an English translation I got somehow (also pdf) but I don’t know if a pdf on an iPad can be attached?
