Last post by Dr. Whom - Today at 10:06:24 AMClaude et Greta (1970)
This is an early movie by Max Pécas, who is quite an institution in French popular culture. He has been called 'le roi des navets'. Now the closest equivalent of 'navet' (turnip) in films terms would be turkey (according to Grok). Navet is a bit broader though, as it also includes completely uninspired by the numbers movies, aimed at the lowest common denominator, ie as bland and insipid as a turnip.
Pécas started out with erotica in the 60s and early 70s, but got overtaken by the liberalisation of censorship (which famously allowed Emmanuelle to be released). He then pivoted to raunchy comedies with a cunning blend of broad humour and naked girls, for which he is mostly known now.
The story, such as it is, is of Greta, a young Swedish art student arriving in Paris, who is taken under the wing of the older lesbian Claude. She then goes to model for Mathias, an older gay painter and his protégé Jean. Eventually Jean and Greta fall in love and run away.
This is what is known as a 'film de charme', so there are but a few actual sex scenes, and these are veiled (literally, they are shot through a transparent curtain). The movie mainly exists to show off the very pretty Astrid Frank, playing Greta, who gets undressed about every ten minutes.

"The" at the beginning is not allowed per rules.
Oops! I was just looking up that movie and not thinking about the rules. Replace it with

Last post by Dr. Whom - Today at 09:42:34 AMI got stepped on by a duck. This was in picnic area where there were these very tame ducks who were scrounging under the tables as you were eating. I'm pretty sure I felt one of them on my foot.
