The Old Lady Who Walked Into the Sea

A truly raunchy (I blushed throughout) French sex farce, this oddball entry stars the forever radiant Jeanne Moreau--who here displays what could only be called a prodigious potty mouth--as an elegant con artist. When she and her elderly paramour in crime (Michel Serrault) decide to recruit a new member (with a cute butt) to the "business," the dynamics between the trio make for some interesting commentary against the backdrop of a multi-million dollar jewel heist. Although initially offputting, the film has more on its palate than creative scatology; ultimately, it's a bittersweet comedy that deals honestly with fading beauty and advancing age in the face of youthful desires and healthy sex drives. Not for the weak of ear by any means, this is still recommended for larger collections.
