Mini Film Review – Cum to Live (2001)

This erotic French fever dream of a comedy thriller is unmissable. Going into this with no knowledge of the plot or genre other than that two people want to have sex in a cabin is truely a wonderful time, especially with equally confused friends.

The film's plot centers around a seeming murderous imposter having a sex-crazed actress visit and demand sex and food for about a week, strangely spending the first 20 minutes flirting with her and the rest of the film denying her advances. The tone begins to feel more like a sketch show than a film with one narrative, going from one very different scene to another with little transition. It even ends in a Rambo-esque  fight at the end with the main character butchering half the villains only to have the love interest shot to death, make sort of friends with the killer, find out he didn't actually kill the owner and all go their seperate ways.

The film even takes the time out for a rubics cube solving scene, with in-built timer making it feel like a childrens tv show, and an amazing music video where the singer begs for the main character's "Juice", claiming to be "tired of my fingers" and "tired of my cucumber".

While the girl is confusing and annoying the leading guy can carry the whole thing on his ridiculous  facial expressions alone, whether his cock his being forceably beaten off over a toy car by the chick or looking for condoms in a box of cereal he is a constant source of hilarity throughout. He also happens to be the director of this masterpiece, hence the massive quality of the project throughout. The first revolutionary step towards safe sex that we needed, but didn't deserve. 

An unmissable mess that comes together in all the right ways.
