Claudio C @Claudio666 4d The World of the Swingers (12,562 – 12 Jul 2026) While painting in the countryside, the amateurish painter Madeleine befriends the blind Adam, who is the major of the nearby town. He shows her a farmhouse that is on sale, and she convinces her earlier retired husband William Lasserre to buy it. They move to the place, and they befriend Adam and his wife Eva. One night, they have dinner together and drink too much, and they end swapping wives. On the next morning, Madeleine and William feel uncomfortable and decides not to see anymore the other couple. But will they be capable of keep their promise? "Peindre ou faire l'amour", a.k.a. "To Paint or Make Love" (2005), is a strange romance with a pointless story. The middle-aged couple meets a younger one and they become swingers. The plot is quite ridiculous and overrated, despite the names of Daniel Auteuil, Sergi López) and Sabine Azéma. My vote is five.

See more 09/19/2010 The picture is fenomenal...the subject interesting, but the movie didn't get the point... See more 09/09/2009 [2009.09.09. On DVD] Not quite sure what's this story about? See more 01/12/2009 Thought some of the images in the film were beautiful but I could not get into this completely surreal life... Give it a miss See more 10/31/2008 This film wasn't bad - it just wasn't good. I think a french film dealing with issues of sex and societal constraints is a little passé at this point. This one certainly doesn't really add anything to the dialogue. See more Read all reviews
