Jean-Claude (Gérard Depardieu) and Pierrot (Patrick Dewaere) are crooks. They're not experts, but they're competent enough to make their way through France by knocking over stores and lifting cars. They also have plenty of sexual conquests, including one with the young, attractive Marie-Ange (Miou-Miou), and the older ex-con, Jeanne (Jeanne Moreau). But the duo isn't simply suave; in addition to their crimes, they mistreat women without regret -- which could come back to haunt them.

3.5/5
French filmmaker Bertrand Blier didn't reinvent the wheel with 1974's Going Places, an adaptation (with cowriter Philippe Dumarçay) of his 1972 novel, but the film wouldn't have become an international sensation if he didn't push the envelope... Go to Full Review

3.5/5
Seen as a scampy sex comedy back in its day, this French film that made Gérard Depardieu a star may just be the most misogynistic film I've ever seen. Go to Full Review

2.5/4
An enormous hit in France and a lightning rod of controversy when it debuted stateside. Go to Full Review
John Simon Esquire Magazine Jul 28, 2020
My objection is not so much to its amorality as to its untruthfulness and dishonesty. Go to Full Review

Few movies portray sex in such a natural, poised, and hilarious way. [Full Review in Spanish] Go to Full Review
