Advertisement:propertag.cmd.push(function() { proper_display('tvtropes_mobile_ad_1'); })Les Valseuses (also known as Going Places in English-speaking countries) is a 1974 French comedy-drama film directed by Bertrand Blier, adapted from Blier's own novel, and starring Gérard Depardieu, Patrick Dewaere, Jeanne Moreau, Miou-Miou, Brigitte Fossey, Dominique Davray, and Isabelle Huppert in her screen debut. The title is a colloquialism which roughly translates as balls. A major breakthrough for its main stars – Depardieu, Dewaere and Miou-Miou – the film was originally rated unsuitable for people under age 18 due to its explicit sexual content, though it was later downrated to 16.Jean-Claude (Depardieu) and Pierrot (Dewaere) are two whimsical, aimless young thugs. They harass and assault women, steal money and cars... and alternately charm, fight and sprint their way out of trouble. Marie-Ange (Miou-Miou), a jaded, passive and frigid hairdresser assistant, joins them as lover, cook and mother confessor. She's on her own search for seemingly unattainable sexual pleasure.Advertisement:propertag.cmd.push(function() { proper_display('tvtropes_mobile_ad_2'); })The Jesus Rolls, an American remake directed by and starring John Turturro, was released in 2019. And it's a spinoff of The Big Lebowski. Make of that what you will. | |

Bilingual Bonus: the film's title. Les Valseuses can mean "The Dancers", as in two people performing a stately complex waltz. It is also colloquial demotic French that can be translated as "the balls", "the bollocks", "the goolies", "the knackers". The joke is that Pierrot and Jean-Clause are as closely entwined and inseperable as a pair of testicles and their close friendship is every bit as complex as a formal dance. And Jean-Claude does indeed get shot in, er, "les valseuses".... | |

Auto Erotica: Averted when the two titular crooks pick up apathetic and terminally bored hairdresser Marie-Ange, who tags along for the ride. She informs them that she is incapable of an orgasm, whatever they do to her, either singly or collectively. The guys take this as a challenge. In one scene, Pierrot is less than enchanted at being the third wheel, driving their car around a French city by night whilst Jean-Claude makes love to Marie-Ange in the back seat, practically testing out the proposition. She does admit to a certain frisson of interest, but no orgasm. | |
