L'Enlèvement des Sabines

Exasperated and disgusted by the behavior of the men they frequent, several young women from a small village create a women's club: the club Sabines. They are about ten. Their first decision is to rent a mini-car to spend a weekend in Paris. But the men of the village are unhappy. They organize a commando that intercepts the mini-bus in Paris and forces members of the Sabines club to "confess", naked, in a cellar. One of them, however, manages to give the alert and one of their friends, a rifle in hand, can deliver them. The uncovered kidnappers will then be forced to cook, wash the dishes and serve naked in their turn, the young women. Men and women will finally be reconciled during a pleasant evening.

Directed by Pierre Unia, L'Enlèvement des Sabines leans on a strong ensemble — Danièle Troeger, Véronique Maugarski, Emmanuelle Rivière — to carry a story that balances spectacle with character.

The film landed with audiences for its craft and performances, and remains one of the most talked-about comedy titles of 1977.
