Caresses

Francois has a problem. Although he's good looking enough, he can't make it with chicks - probably because he has the charisma of a cold baked potato. Fortunately his hip and handsome roommate knows just the woman to teach his friend how to become wildly successful with the ladies. After a few unique lessons, Francois is a new man, and his dick is getting plenty of action. Caresses is a 1984 release that is good-natured, light, friendly, sexy and a pleasant flashback to the days of pubic hair, as well as a reminder that porn can be fun.

Directed by Claude Bernard-Aubert, Caresses leans on a strong ensemble — Guy Royer, Joël Charvier, Erika Cool — 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 drama titles of 1979.
