Les infidèles 2012
Is cheating a characteristic of the male libido? In this film, which explores the successes and disappointments, victories and tragic disasters of male infidelity in all its hopeless, absurd, and excessively comedic variations, starring Jean Dujardin and Gilles Lelouch. From a prestigious conference at a country hotel to a sex addiction clinic, from a chic nightclub in Paris to a stylish strip club in Las Vegas, our heroes embark on various adventures. Classic lines are spoken, all tricks come into play, and bedroom escapades ensue. Lively and captivating, honest and sarcastic, cowardly and candid, intimate and low-down; in short, it’s about men. The stubborn male heart, even if it beats for things that shouldn’t be, is not easy to reach illicit pleasures… The idea for the project came from Jean Dujardin, who always wanted to make a film consisting of sketches, and when he heard the story of a man who bought a cinema ticket while planning to cheat on his wife and then turned off his phone, he immediately labeled the topic as “betrayal.” However, Jean Dujardin and Gilles Lelouch came together to assemble the film and combined different situations and events using the sketch format.
