Dopisy v krajkách

2003 · ★ 8.0 · Comedy

A costume, slightly erotic, love fable with grotesque elements and a distinct black humor accent.

At the beginning of the story, the commentary says: "We know almost everything about the suffering of the working people before the French Revolution, but not much is known about the debauched life of the nobility. It is therefore high time to explore this less attractive topic in more detail." With wry humor, author and director Jaroslav Pozzi weaves together several stories describing the juicy sexual games of the rotten French nobility...
