L'AMANT DOUBLE (THE DOUBLE LOVER)
Recommended. The first few minutes are absurd. The very first scene exceeds the limits of intimacy and nudity showing... the inside of a vagina. Just after that the woman hears she's got a mild infection but instead of treating the condition medically she goes to a shrink. From the first psychiatrist appointment it makes more sense. The surreal is much better than the real. You never know if what she sees and feels are figments of her imagination or authentic. Some scenes are SF-inspired: "Alien" or as carnal as in Cronenberg's movies, one fragment reminded me of the corporeal pistol in "eXistenZ". The final scene makes a bang.
MON POUSSIN (HONEY BUNNY)
Watchable. In spite of it being gross and vulgar (it's French, you know), it's very funny. The broken-hearted teenager wails, another couple warns the parents of a similar case when a boy ran away and "Interpol found him in Belgium", the parents go to extreme lengths to relieve him of his agony, the teenager's sister wants to move to an orphanage so that a normal family can adopt her and there's a blender scene with brilliant music.
