About People in Swimsuits Aren't (Necessarily) Shallow
A week on St-Martin with vacationing Parisians. Camille surprises her lover Philippe, who's with his wife and children. Lonely Laurette, a secretary, hopes to meet a man. Aziz brings his enthusiastic brother Rafik because his boss had two tickets he couldn't use. Lovers Pauline and the pregnant, cranky Anita find their vacation complicated by an ex-lover of Pauline's. The playboy Jimmy is the hotel M.C., and Carla, free-spirited and sensual, coaches Laurette in the ways of seduction. She is hot and cold to these wiles, alternately attracting and putting off Aziz, hoping Jimmy will try to seduce her, and afraid he might. By week's end, with the help of Camille's diary, we'll know the outcomes.
Directed by Eric Assous, People in Swimsuits Aren't (Necessarily) Shallow leans on a strong ensemble — Isabelle Gélinas, Agnès Soral, Gad Elmaleh — 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 2001.
