WHATEVER (1999)
PHILIPPE HAREL
Plot
The French take on sexual politics and desire in this comedy. A moderately successful and well paid computer programmer is having trouble with the ladies. When he is sent around France to teach programming he is partnered with an optimistic but poorly dressed virgin named Raphael. When an attempt to score goes wrong the two take on the sexual revolution and fight for the undersexed. Based on Michel Houllebecq's novel, Whatever, is funny and poignant in the way that French films about sexual failure usually are.
