The Double Lover (2017)

What’s better than one lover? The Double Lover (2017) of course! Also known as L’Amant double, this French-language film features English subtitles. But who wants to read when there’s so much to see? Based on the novel “Lives of the Twins” (1987) by Joyce Carol Oates, the freaky flick follows Chloé (Marine Vacth) who falls in love with her therapist (Jérémie Renier). She moves in with him quicker than you can say “Freudian slip!” But things get weird when she spots her man’s doppelganger. After doing a little digging, she finds out that her lover has an estranged identical twin brother who is a therapist too. Chloé reacts as any insane person would — she has a fling with him behind the other’s back! It’s not exactly a ménage à trois, but it’s kinky just the same. Speaking of, Ms. Vacth wears a strap-on to peg Mr. Renier. Ow la la! The skintastic act showcases his back, ass and shaft. No wonder, he nabbed a nom for a Magritte Award. Thanks to the screen adaptation and direction by François Ozon, the movie includes Jacqueline Bisset, Myriam Boyer, Dominique Reymond, and more views of Jérémie in the nude! In addition to flashing his naked T&A while with his woman, the bare bloke indulges in a threesome. As you can guess, Mr. Man would love if it could be a foursome! Needless to say, the film competed for the Palme d’Or at the Cannes Film Festival. Since then, it’s won our Palm d’Peen prize!
