...Laurent (Benoit Ferreux) is the youngest son of a prosperous Dijon gynecologist (Daniel Gelin) and his Italian wife (Lea Massari). Laurent's brothers are well-bred juvenile delinquents, but despite a pronounced affection for mischief, Laurent is different. Hardly into adolescence, he reads Camus and writes essays on existentialism that vex his schoolmaster-priest (Michel Lonsdale). Father Henri further advances his pupil's education by making tentative homosexual advances during confession, and Laurent's brothers chip in to buy him a bout with a tolerant whore. Laurent-perhaps because of all this frenetic activity-develops a heart...
...company of his mother, Laurent is installed at an elegant rest home. They share the same room, and eventually the same secrets. Laurent has long known of Mamma's extramarital affair; when it ends he comforts her. She in turn gives him advice about his girl friends. Mother and son confess their admiration for each other, their dependency on each other, their love for each other, which one night becomes passionately incestuous. Next morning, after Laurent has sneaked out of his mother's bed to pass the remainder of the night with a girl friend, father and brothers...

Paris' famed dress dictator displayed his fall-winter creations but barred the door to previously unfriendly viewers. Among the uninvited were Syndicated Columnist Eugenia Sheppard and various disgruntled experts from France's influential Le Monde and a leftist daily called Combat. Said the latter: "It's their fascist side. One must close...
...probably like Flesh. It's a supermarketful of genitalia, mostly male, which makes it a peculiar supermarket indeed. Who can resist Joe D'Alasandro, his phallus wrapped up in a St. Laurent scarf like an obscene Christmas present for Isadora Duncan? Who can pass up Candy Darling, a transvestite with rubykeeler red lips and a feather boa, reading '40's Hollywood pulp sags aloud to prove she couldn't care less about Joe's ongoing blow job? Who could miss a Warhol lampoon of Blow-Up, with Joe cast as Verushka...
