French Twist (film)

French Twist French Gazon maudit is a cult 1995 French comedy film. It was written and directed by Josiane Balasko. The film was one of very few French films to have a dubbed version for English audiences. Its title in French is untranslatable but Cursed Lawn is a close approximation. It also refers to the shaving or not of pubic hair, a subtle joke in French alluding to the subject matter of the film. The film was selected as the French entry for the Best Foreign Language Film at the 68th Academy Awards, but was not accepted as a nominee.

Laurent is upset, but then his friend Antoine Ticky Holgado accidentally reveals Laurents philandering to Loli. This seems to justify her romance.
