This sex farce, about a woman who improbably loses her clitoris, has several laugh-out-loud moments in the first half, then starts running out of ideas. Louise, a radio talk-show personality, is in a mostly physical relationship with Francois, a public defender. The sex is good until one day she goes numb in her nether region. Panicked, she dumps Francois and starts consulting a bevy of specialists, among them a “sexologist” who performs remedial cunnilingus and an African shaman who prescribes herbs. Writer-director Isabelle Broue mixes brio and irreverence with a caustic look at how clueless some men are when it comes to pleasuring women. With Marie Gillain and Julien Boisselier. 81 min. In French with subtitles.
