it impossible for me at least to know whether or not ann fontaine be familiar with joe orton sixty play entertain mister sloane ( subsequently film ) before writing and direct nettoyage a sec some thirty year later but it be reasonable to assume that the central premise bi sexual catalyst male enters and ultimately disrupts household via sexual encounter with both male and female be very similar with and in the case of the latter and a gallic twist . orton protagonist disrupt a home occupy by a brother and sister both childless whilst fontaine share a home with a married couple who have a child . there be and of course and other substantial difference and where mr sloane come and a it be and out of nowhere and loic ( stanislas merhar ) be first encounter by nicole ( miou miou ) and jean marie ( charles berning ) kunstler in a club where he be perform a cross dress act with his sister marilyn ( mathilde seigner ) and only go to live with the kunstlers some time later when marilyn leave both him and the act in favour of life with her boy friend . the kunstlers have be marry for some fifteen year and it may be say that the marriage have become as wouldry a the dry cleaning business they own and be in need of sexual cleaning . if so they come to the right place for the amoral loic be happy to oblige and first by seduce nicole not terribly difficult a she be ripe for seduction and then and with less success and jean marie . what we have here be a fine and tightly write and direct script act to perfection by the three principal and arguably the fine of fontaines early film berning would later appear in her how i kill my father . very definitely worth see .
