Synopsis:

Bertrand Morane's funeral turns into a meeting of all the women he has seduced, or that you have won, as you look. Not one man attends the funeral since Bertrand devoted all his time and thought their lovers. A flashback tells us the last months of life, which was dedicated to having all their adventures in a biography, not knowing that the book would be published only posthumously.

Comment:

Life of Bertrand has one reason being : know intimately as many women as possible. His activity as seductive never ceases or drops his guard, any occasion can be good to bring out a new conquest: as in any c onquistador, the key to their success in courtship is perseverance and never demoralized not defeat. B ertrand not seek couples or the love of his life, this is z began searching at first but once inside his spiral of seduction is aware that his greatest pleasure is the curiosity to discover a new woman and none is good enough to stop trying to conquer the others. No doubt our friend really likes sex, but if that was all he seeks would become a regular of prostitution as many men, is the mystery of not knowing who will meet new women or that strategy then used to "hunting" that fills his life with excitement.

Bertrand behavior be considered pathological in a woman (what was formerly called nymphomania) and today for a man also has lost much of the romantic aura that surrounds it and Truffaut. Sex addiction, or rather sexual conquest, seriously undermines the social and emotional life of the protagonist, who has no friends or family ties, as this would take some of the time devoted to compulsive flirting. The film also does not show any interest in working for Bertrand : this is probably an intelligent man who could have done a better career if he had focused a bit more in it, but we must celebrate that his addiction did not prevent the least minimally meet their work commitments. At present, our man would without doubt the Internet to their meetings, which would surely casual relationships had a more purely sexual content. Of course, at least Bertrand is very clear what he wants and does not suffer fooling yourself into thinking you want to find the love of your life and not get it, or made to suffer any wife with his infidelities, so his compulsive search for sex becomes a vital choice, certainly not the best from the point of view but totally respectable emotional balance.
