剧情介绍
一顿好友聚会的晚餐前，四个男人在厨房准备，而他们的妻子却在健身房运动。
他们的话题不是别的，都从容的抒发自己对“人类幸福”的一个侧面——婚姻与性的理解。
然而当晚饭过后，却陷入了…… Four very different Montreal university teachers gather at a rambling country house to prepare a dinner. Remy (married), Claude (a homosexual), Pierre (involved with a girlfriend) and Alain (a bachelor) discuss sex, the female body and their affairs with them. Meanwhile, their four female guests, Louise (Remy's wife of 15 years), Dominique (a spinster), Diane (a divorcée) and Danielle (Pierre's girlfriend) are spending the time at a downtown health gym. They also discuss sex, the female body and, naturally, men. Later in the evening, they finally meet at the country house and have dinner. The discussion? Well, you can guess it... However, a ninth guest, named Mario, who used to know Diane, drops in on the group for some talk and has a surprise of his own.

From Tim) 真是把各种有关性的问题都谈了一遍，成人的世界真乱......
等有知识了再看一遍。4.1
男人和女人各自谈性。单身寂寞，但至少自由。@aircanada
还不错。但和伯格曼的《婚姻生活》一比，就看出差距来了。
7.9 加拿大作者电影，话剧形式，却趣味盎然。
看得出作者濃濃的知識分子感。意料之外，呈現得很高明，開篇就借多米尼克之口宣說了主旨:人們窮其辦法追求愛慾，正是文明走向衰亡的表現。接著是如羅馬帝國衰落前的華麗詞藻與放縱言行，最後，落在露易絲和里克身上，原來這個現實是無法阻擋的(縱使是天真如露易絲也不可能逃避面對這個現實)，這不是這群知識分子的錯，他們只是群像中的一部分，伴隨著這衰落面對無奈與倉皇，當然，也沒有人真的有力氣站出來反抗。知識分子們接受彼此的放蕩，然後互相擁抱取暖。片中最直接面對這一切的，反倒是多米尼克，她厭倦了那些虛偽的中產男人們在午夜離開，卻也不得不接受孤獨的早上一個人醒來。不知道片尾，她與年輕男孩(片裡唯一一個對愛還抱持希望的人)的相愛算不算一絲慰藉~

谈论对艳遇 sm 出轨 换妻 同性恋的看法 女性在健身房那边嘲讽的是男性对性能力的在意 能接受自己出轨 女性 但不能接受的事 朋友当面告知与自己老公出轨 （原因是觉得她在知识上的愚蠢） 知识分子内在空虚对性的看法 玩的还挺狠 结尾带墨镜和年轻女性两个还依附在知识分子家庭一起弹钢琴听抒情的
密室。
在先锋实验室里，几近全覆盖的怪异组合打着乌托邦嘴炮与幻想。性和暴力是动物本能，也是所谓文明进步的源动力。物质丰裕是否必然会导致精神溃散？尽管喋喋不休，却混沌含糊语焉不详。
让人无比舒适，不过没有什么留白，真实而略带浪漫化的普通知识分子日常，可以算是知识分子的爽片了
world cinema 作业。话痨片儿，看英文字幕简直要累死。况且豆瓣的片名翻译错了，一直在纳闷一群法国人瞎搞么关美帝国啥事儿。后来才晓得是加拿大人在感叹美洲帝国。。图书馆页面里一句评论很精辟：As Roger Ebert said, it's a mistake to think that this is a film about sex. He says it's about talking about sex. 整个前面一半都在写男人女人分开的时候是怎么互相切磋经历。1/2点两个老男人说，其实他们并不想沟通，只想直接办事儿，还拉着小年轻去看蜻蜓。之后1/4是男女汇合、坐一起道貌岸然讨论学术问题，中间还被粗人打断来着。3/4点开high，女教授的访谈点题，再因为看不惯“middle-class housewives”而怂出真相。
