Description:
A film director named Jeanne (Anne Parillaud) is consumed with directing a young actress (Roxane Mesquida) and actor (Grégoire Colin) in a difficult sex scene. Aided and abetted by her loyal assistant director, Léo (Ashley Wanninger), Jeanne is hell-bent on getting it right, without compromise or dishonesty. It offers a meditation on sex and power, or, to put it another way, social manipulation, truth and freedom. Sex Is Comedy takes the viewer into a faux-authentic sex shoot complete with giant fake penis, nerve-shattered cast and unflappable crew.
