jacques demy’s A SLIGHTLY PREGNANT MAN (1973)

 

i dont know how this was intended back in the day but i started it as a nostalgic euro-trash light comedy with two film icons in somewhat buffoonish roles, and it was that for sure, but it also went a little further with lines like “if men start to get pregnant they’ll have to legalize abortions” and other stuff like that which i don’t know how incendiary it might have been back in the dark ages of the 20th century ha ha ha ha. male pregnancy as the next step in human evolution. this isn’t really a spoiler because the title gave it away. at least the english title— the french one is completely different.

but yeah it wasn’t great or anything after all, just lighthearted jacques demy stuff with his usual bright color schemes, plus the two stars on it made it watchable in their own way.
