More Detail:
GROSSE FATIGUE (“Totally Exhausted”) deals with famous French auteur Michel Blanc who is on the verge of a nervous breakdown. Michel finds himself facing not only an important scriptwriting deadline, but is also indicted for a series of crimes and improprieties that he did not commit or at least he cannot remember committing them. While staying in the country home of his co-star, Carole Bouquet, to finish his script, they both discover the source of his problems. A wily actor-impersonator is cashing in on Michel’s fame to get money and sexual favors. In the chase to stop the impersonator, Michel descends deeper and deeper into a comic nightmare where he no longer is sure of his own identity.
GROSS FATIGUE works splendidly as an allegory, but as a film, loses its identity. The directing, editing and camerawork are masterfully done; and the score provides a superb counterpoint against which the film is played. GROSSE FATIGUE is a comic gem that makes exquisite use of double entendre and irony, but the excessive sex, violence and language will be highly offensive to moral Americans.
