| Michael says: "This delightful French sex farce
from the director of THE ADVENTURES OF FELIX, is a pleasure from start
to finish. Mark and Béatrix
are spending a summer in their seaside villa in Italy with their two
teenaged children. They have incorrectly determined that their son is
gay, while their daughter leaves for a road trip with her boyfriend.
In fact, it’s their son’s best friend staying with them for
the summer that is gay and in love with their son. To complicate matters,
Béatrix’ lover Mathieu has taken some time off by the sea,
and Mark’s old flame is on the scene as well. To top things off
Ducastel tosses in a couple of musical numbers!
Exquisite timing and slamming doors make COTE D’AZUR the perfect farce, with a lively cast that digs into their shenanigans full steam ahead. Most delightful for Chlotrudis fans is Gilbert Melki’s (THE TRILOGY) portrayal of Mark. Don’t miss this one when it plays in Boston. It’s a true delight. 4 ½ cats" |
