Rob Schmieder Gay Community News (Boston) Voyage en Douce has the distinction of succeeding brilliantly as pornography. Aug 18, 2022 Full Review David Walsh World Socialist Web Site This account of a Franco-Armenian woman's visit to post-Soviet Armenia is more varied and lively, less stagnant, it seems to me, than Guédiguian's Marseilles films.
