“I’m not an easy man” Netflix

Or «Je suis pas un homme facile» originally.

Fun feminist French film on Netflix where the womanising protagonist wakes up in an alternate world where men are constantly objectified and women hold all the power.

It’s a bit like What Women Want but so much better. Plus it has some cool Parisian chic going on (not the point I know Blush) and an amazing ending.

Has anyone seen it? And if not can you please hurry up watch it then come back and discuss it with me? Grin

The French clearly have ishoos with hairy women, if the woman’s disgust at the lead’s hairy, unwaxed chest is a barometer of the reverse. Ditto the boss’s flash of hairy ankle.

Greymisty I'm glad you liked it!

boaty I know what you mean but I thought it was about the shock factor when you see it reversed, and men being the ones to wax their chests and pubic hair, worry about maternity leave etc, you see how bonkers it all is. Without the rude awakening he wouldn't have become a better person.

But yes, I've always believed that a matriarchy wouldn't harm men to the same extent that a patriarchy harms women, because one is tends to equality and the other to hierarchy.

OK, I had a chance to watch it this afternoon. I’m not sure I’m a fan. It was basically transferring all the boorish, domineering behaviour onto the women, making them unpleasant, sexually abusive/coercive and e.g. ‘dead beat’ mums. Whilst it was amusing to see the lead in a tailored tiny shorts trouser suit (nice legs) and all the muscley young men in the strip club, I don’t think it had anything interesting or imaginative to say about what a society run by women for the benefit of women/all might look like. Glossy, but ultimately unfulfilling.

Sounds good. I will try and watch it soon. Smile

If you have internet, you could have Netflix. It starts at £5.99 a month for the basic SD bundle and they are currently offering one month free. Clear your diary and fill your boots. Grin

Ooh this sounds fabulous. Unfortunately I don't have Netflix. This has made me quite sad.

I keep seeing the trailer, but its good to hear it delivers on the premise. Will make an effort to watch and return to discuss.

ReluctantCamper · 28/04/2018 09:03

sounds fab - I will check it out. I have my brother over for the weekend and my chances of persuading both him and my husband to watch a french feminist film are nil. I'll have to watch it later in the week and report back.

I'm most excited about the Parisian chic

Pratchet · 28/04/2018 09:01

Thanks I will look for this!
