Original Title: Combien tu m'aimes? Country of Origin: France / Italy (2005) French with English Subtitles - 95 minutes Genre: Comedy Distributor: Exception - Wild Bunch Directed by Bertrand Blier Starring   Monica Bellucci, Bernard Campan, Gérard Depardieu, Jean-Pierre Darroussin, Édouard Baer, Farida Rahouadj, Sara Forestier, Michel Vuillermoz, François Rollin The always-provocative Bertrand Blier is at his theatrical best in this film about a balding, elfin-eared office worker (Bernard Campan) who uses his lottery winnings to entice a ravishing prostitute (Monica Bellucci) into domestic bliss. Why should she settle for 150 euros a trick when she can earn 100,000 a month living with him, until the money runs out? The devil, as usual, is in the details: he has a heart condition; she has a pimp (Gérard Depardieu, who carries off the role with aplomb). Blier's take on beauty vs. shleppiness, mercenary seduction vs. true romance, and cash as a motivating factor in sexual desire is thoroughly enjoyable …As the pragmatic hooker, Monica Bellucci is ideally utilized to beguile, titillate and get the intellect firing… a rousingly choreographed ballet of fluctuating allegiances… Stand-out riffs include a monologue on love by his pal, André (Jean-Pierre Darroussin), and a verbal catfight between Daniela and an irate neighbour (Farida Rahouadj), who contends that any broad who makes that much noise in the sack must be faking it …touching - and funny - human truths come shining through. - Variety
