“Do Not Disturb”: Cluzet and Attal in Love <\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a>
\nIn the midst of the summer torpor, I was able to attend the press screening of Yvan Attal’s new film. After “ma femme est une actrice” and “ils se mari\u00e8rent et eurent beaucoup d’enfants”, this is the director’s 3rd comedy. The film is a remake of Humpday (by Lynn Shelton, 2009), which won an award at the Sundance Film Festival.

\nThe pitch: One evening, Jeff turns up unannounced at Ben’s house. To celebrate the reunion and distract his old friend from his tidy life, Jeff drags him to a party. While there, a discussion takes place about an amateur porn festival, and the idea quickly becomes a bet: Jeff and Ben will have sex on camera. It’s not gay, it’s not porn, it’s art! The next day, it’s impossible to get cold feet. Nothing will stop them, except perhaps Ben’s wife, heterosexuality or certain mechanical questions…
\nYvan Attal confides: “What interested me was staging sexuality and talking about related issues, without ever being embarrassing, even when the situation gets tough… Sexuality is always something that locks us in, that we never question… We think we’re free and uninhibited, only to realize that we’re not. Especially men. I get the impression that women know what they want. For them, assuming their sexuality doesn’t mean questioning their identity. For men, it’s more complicated.”

\nThe cast includes a lesbian and tattooed Charlotte Gainsbourg, a surprisingly accurate and very surprising Laetitia Casta (Falbala seems a long way off…) and a consistently good Fran\u00e7ois Cluzet. Yvan Attal, who wears both actor’s and director’s hats, is once again very sharp. “Do Not Disturb” is a disconcerting comedy. The scenes are well filmed, and the shots are beautiful. You’d think that talking about porn between two straight guys would be vulgar, that the themes of the couple and the duo of friends would be familiar, but this isn’t the case. The final scene is simply cult, but that’s all I’m saying.
\nAll in all: a funny, disconcerting film that plays with taboos and the unspoken. <\/p>\n
