The French seem to love these. A young woman, very pretty, crazy, and promiscuous (cf Betty Blue) hooks up with a normal man...he falls in love with her...and then his troubles begin. This one had a strong political/sociological sub-text but it was presented in such a farcical way it didn't work.
In fact none of this worked...in spite of the strenuous effort by all involved. The premise and tone were idiotically exaggerated. Like All in the Family they tried to present inflammatory issues like racism in a comedic context to make them look silly. Maybe this worked for a French audience. I just found it annoying and felt the lead actress was degrading herself.
