Max, Mon Amour (France/Japan)

Max, My Love

Simian paramour

 

Director: Nagisa Oshima

Cast: Charlotte Rampling    Anthony Higgins

Footage: 98min

Year: 1986

The "Max" with whom the elegant Margaret falls in love is a circus chimpanzee (played by a short-statured man in a monkey suit). Margaret's British-ambassador husband Peter has long suspected that his wife was cheating on him, but he certainly isn't prepared for her simian paramour. Oshima uses his unorthodox plotline to poke holes in the self-protective pretensions of the Bourgeoisie.
