3.0 out of 5 stars Be Careful What You Want, 31 May 2009
By DL Productions UK (Merseyside, UK) - See all my reviews
(TOP 500 REVIEWER)      
Claude Chabrol's look at swinging gone bad is often shocking, yet at times really is quite dull. His attitude is all wrong too, he thinks mocking Habib will make his wife stop seeing him, while he can go around having sex with whoever he wants. He's a male shovanistic pain, he thinks he can do whatever he wants, and Esther has to do as he says. When it doesn't all go his way, he flips.

This isn't the best movie from Chabrol - it's very pedestrian and often drags on. The inclusion of Paula Moore was a good thing, as she was starting to be well known in the French cinema circuit, and she plays Phillipe's wife well.

This DVD is bare bones, and at times you can hear clicks and pops in the soundtrack. This is actually volume 2 in the Claude Chabrol Collection, and I wouldn't really recommend this - it's not really exciting or insightful, but it does give food for thought whether swinging really is good for the marriage.

Rent it if you want to see it, otherwise give it a miss.

3.0 out of 5 stars Ambitious but overlong and not entirely successful, 19 Feb 2009
By Trevor Willsmer (London, England) - See all my reviews
(TOP 50 REVIEWER)      
'Une Partie de Plaisir' is minor Chabrol and has many of the problems of his considerably worse 'L'Enfer.' It's another morality tale cum horror story, with swinger Paul Gegauff's marriage and world coming unstuck after he encourages his wife to have affairs. It's not that she sleeps with other men when he clearly was expecting her not to, but that instead of deriving all her ideas from him she starts to take them from her lovers as well and gradually, as her dependency on him lessens, his need to mould and control her grows until he can no longer live with her or without her. While it never falls into L'Enfer's farcical inadvertent comedy, it shares a tiringly repetitive third act where the only way to top one outrage is with another, until it becomes comic and rather boring. Screenwriter Gegauff's performance in the lead is brave but not always entirely successful, his face veering between a very literal copy of the two stone masks of Greek tragedy and comedy to an almost frightening degree as the film progresses. Interesting, brave but not entirely successful, it's a film I doubt I'll feel any compulsion to return to in the future.

Picture quality on Pathfinder's Region 1 NTSC DVD is an acceptable but not outstanding standards conversion from PAL while the extras include an audio interview with Chabrol.
