Director Bertrand Blier's Les Valseuses features Gerard Depardieu and Patrick Dewaere as a pair of sociopaths wending their way across France. Though Depardieu is the more dominant of the two, both me... read more read more...n are equally culpable in their disregard for common decency. They are particularly rough on women, even the like-minded Miou-Miou, whom they both love in their own way. Jeanne Moreau has a brief bit as an ex-convict who sleeps with both Depardieu and Dewaere. ~ Hal Erickson, Rovi

    an anarchic road trip movie, very much of it's time (1970s). the french title les valseuses translates to 'the waltzers,' a slang term for testicles, so the film should probably be called 'the balls.' there's plenty of sex as the two buddies try to make every woman they encount... read moreer, in between robberies and stealing cars. jeanne moreau has a touching role as an older woman just released from prison and also look for a very young isabelle huppert. much fun and not for the prudish.

    "The Balls" lol, thanks Stella Dallas.

    A classic 70's romp thru France, quite dated, with a very young Gerard Depardieu, Isabelle Huppert & Jeanne Moreau,

    I only wish I had seen it when I was a teenager. Very pleasant, often very funny, lots of nacked women. It interesting to see how society might have evolved hadn't it been for AIDS.

    Bizarro comedy from Bertrand Blier, in which two petty criminals spend their time aimlessly trying to get laid and score enough money to get by on. Very chauvinistic and occasionally disturbing, it has enough WTF moments to keep the viewer involved.

    Worth a rental easily.

... Blier's portrait of showy machismo, reflexive bad behavior and empty pleasure is his sad commentary on seventies culture. Full Review

The view of desperate braggadocio behind the "lyrical" romping is withering Full Review

A great film and a great comedy, casually offensive and distinctively, hilariously male.
