L'école de la chair (1998)

English title: The School of Flesh.

Based on the novel by Yukio Mishima, first published in 1963.

A middle-class, middle-aged woman has an affair with a young working-class man.

Love story with a mildly satirical -- and mildly interesting -- view of the modern French bourgeoisie. I confess to having yielded to hilarity at some passages, and not on account of any satire.

Rating: 40
