10/18/2015 suspenseful in its complications and complicated in its suspenses ... See more 07/07/2010 Bad title, bad cover (& why every G&L related movie always has to use an ugly, tasteless artwork for the poster or DVD cover?!!) I guess the film was supposed to be funny (noir) for certain moments but too uptight overall. Confusing (core) character. Confusing plotline. Perhaps the one most confused are the audiences. See more walter m @Harlequin68 04/23/2010 [font=Century Gothic]In "Confusion of Genders," Alain(Pascal Greggory) is a middle aged lawyer who is depressed on both a personal and a professional level.[/font] [font=Century Gothic][/font] [font=Century Gothic]Despite having numerous trysts with members of both genders, he still feels lonely and worries about growing old alone. So, he proposes to his boss, Laurence(Nathalie Richard), who accepts. Then, she gets pregnant. Complicating matters even further is Christophe(Cyrille Thouvenin), brother to Marlene(Marie Saint-Dizier), one of Alain's old hookups, who one night brings Alain home with him.[/font] [font=Century Gothic]Alain wants to take on an important case but Laurence demurs until a murder case comes their way. The client, Marc(Vincent Martinez), gets a life sentence. Alain feels so guilty that he agrees to act as a go-between in a wedding proposal from Marc to his girlfriend, Babette(Julie Gayet), a hair stylist.[/font] [font=Century Gothic]"Confusion of Genders" is an offbeat satire with an erotic edge. As well-acted and engaging as it is, it could have been even better if its staccato rhythm had been slowed down in a couple of places. The movie is about the pursuit of happiness where the best advice is to roll with the punches, as events may play out in totally unexpected and wonderful ways. For example, Alain's bout of self-loathing comes from life differing from the expectations he originally had, especially not fitting in as well as he would like. Part of that comes from the law not turning out to be the idealistic profession he once thought it was. [/font] See more 04/23/2010 5.5/10. Dark comedy, nicely acted by the leads. It is an interesting story but did not always hold my interest. The characters lack depth. See more 07/10/2009 In spite of the stupid title, this was a fascinating movie. If you have friends like mine, then these characters will seem very realistic and all too common. The main "confusion" was about how to communicate desire, and in this case, made it seem all that more real. See more 03/29/2009 At first I was laughing because I thought they were being serious. Then when I realized it was a comedy I laughed even more. It could have easily gone overboard but fortunately the director works as fast as Alain's scatterbrain and the result is like nothing I've never seen before. See more Read all reviews
