I Am Not an Easy Man and the remake Ladies First on Netflix?

[Italiangreyhound]

Anyone else watched the French original I Am Not an Easy Man and the remake Ladies First on Netflix?

Watched them both. Quite liked Ladies First but loved the original.

The original was brilliant.
The latest is good (I love some of the outfits) but I prefer the original tbh

I thought Ladies First wasn’t great. I didn’t recognise Sasha Baron Cohen, and was thinking why have they hired in this not particularly attractive man to the lead role. It seemed very retro, I didn’t realise it was a remake, that makes sense.

I thought the original covered lots of extra issues, mem on headscarves, female strength etc.

Yes I really liked the giving birth scene in the original

I also thought the topless women in the original was very well done, seemed totally natural.

I've watched two more movies.

It's s boy girl thing
And
She's the man, which is based on Twelfth Night.

Both about what you might call 'gender swap' themes.
