Buy This Item My Man by New Yorker Video  Available from Amazon  $14.95  on 9-23-2008     Bertrand Blier, the French filmmaker who's made a profession out of aggressive but darkly poetic political incorrectness since 1973's scandalous <I>Going Places</I>, relates the story of a disconcertingly happy hooker in <I>My Man</I>. Marie, played by Blier's current muse, tiny, intense Anouk Grinberg, plies her trade in a Parisian passageway, where she revels in her spidery power to seduce and satisfy any passing male. Marie's unfettered sexuality combines with her equally strong motherly instincts (the oldest and most reliably shocking of Blier's themes) when she finds the scruffy, smelly Jeannot (Gérard Lanvin) sleeping in the hall. She takes him in, and makes him her pimp--a "nice pimp," she says, who will remember her birthday. <p> <I>My Man</I> suffers from Blier's congenital third-act problems, when the action goes wildly surreal. But his theatrically stylized language--elevated, elegant, impeccably measured--is a pleasure even in translation. <I>--Dave Kehr</I> Reader Reviews This movie is extremly weird, at first you think the atmosphere sound nice, it's very french, I like french movie, so it seem to be a good movie but after the prostitute Marie meet a strange man Jeannot, play by Gérard Larvin and she change his look everthing after doesn't made any sence. I'm used to weird french movie and I usualy like it but this time it's way too weird and it doesn't made any sence. Anouk Grinberg, Marie get on my nerve, I can't stand her tone of voice and she look weird with her short messy hair. Jeannot got also on my nerve, I can't stand him and Valeria Bruni Tedeschi I usualy like this actress and she pretty good in the roles she play but this time she also get on my nerve when she play Sarah with loving so much Jeannot, what they got all those women to love him so much??? But Valeria is much better then Anouk in this movie. Well to said it all this movie doesn't made much sence but if you like french weird movie you may like it, it's not great, it's not bad, it's just okay!
