Yeah cheers, was really good. If you've not seen les valseuses I would recommend it. It's a similar vibe really. I think the director, Bertrand blier, is the son of the boss from siere noire.

Every extravagant idea that was not subject to regulation reaped a golden harvest: theosophy, occultism, spiritualism, somnambulism, anthroposophy, palm-reading, graphology, yoga and Paracelsism. Anything that gave hope of newer and greater thrills, anything in the way of narcotics, morphine, cocaine, heroin found a tremendous market; on the stage, incest and parricide, in politics, communism and fascism, constituted the most favored themes; unconditionally proscribed, however, was any representation of normality and moderation. But I would not for anything wipe out that era of chaos, neither from my own life nor from art in its onward movement. Thrusting forward in the orgy of its first impulse it had, like every spiritual revolution, swept the air clean of all stuffy tradition, and relieved the strains of many years; for all that may be said its daring experiments have left a residuum of valuable stimuli. Much as some of its excesses amazed us, we did not feel justified in any arrogant censure or rejection for, in essence, this youth of the new day was seeking to correct—though perhaps with too great fire and impatience—what our cautious and aloof generation had failed in.

Nah it's not that, thanks for trying, I've seen Murmur of the Heart, that's the one where all the problems of a family are solved or simply melt away when the teenage protagonist er shags his mum.

I have to say that that is one of the very few mainstreamish films which I can think of off the top of my head that chooses to represent getting drunk and accidentally nailing yer mum as an overall positive development.
