21/05/2002 - Applause for Jacques Nolot's bittersweet ménage à trois, La Chatte à Deux Têtes

Jacques Nolot´s La Chatte à Deux Têtes got a very warm reception after today´s screening in Un Certain Regard. The two «heads» that the titles refers to are the vagina and the anus. This is a and this film is a bittersweet comedy about a sexual triangle and the sexual frustration that many homosexuals can only relieve in the anonymous and murky darkness of their local porn theatre. The protagonist is a fifty-year-old homosexual man with AIDS who lives in Paris and frequents porno movie houses assiduously.
Filmgoers will remember Nolot for having taken part in several notable French films, the most recent of which was François Ozon´s Sotto la sabbia - Beneath the Sand. La chatte à deux têtes began life as a novella for Nolot´s adopted son « But after Pauline Duhault read the story, she said this absolutely had to become a feature film». Mars Distribution will release this film in France this autumn.
