Pourquoi pas moi? (1999) **

Directed by Stephane Giusti. With Julie Gayet, Brigitte Rouan and Marie-France Pisier. Uplifting French film about a bunch of happy-go-lucky lesbians who finally decide to come out of the closet. So they invite their parents for a quiet weekend in the country. Homophobia almost never raises its ugly head - everybody is gay and happy. A nice little fairy tale that makes Better Than Chocolate look gritty and realistic by comparaison.
