THE PRICE TO PAY
Le prix à payer

The new battle-of-the-sexes comedy from writer-director Alexandra Leclere (Me and My Sister) is an outrageous farce with a cynical subtext, and rocketed to number one at the French box office last April.

Odile (Nathalie Baye, in top form) is an rich housewife who has little else to do in life but shop, visit beauty salons, and fend off the amorous advances of her husband Jean-Pierre (Christian Clavier). Frustrated by the separate bedrooms and the absence of intimacy, on the questionable advice of his driver Jean-Pierre decides that his home situation and wife's life of leisure must be renegotiated. "No sex, no money!" he announces delicately... Let the games begin!
