"L'Année Des Méduses" does not contain a shred of plot in its 109 (!) minutes; at the same time, it lacks any interesting characters and/or insights to pick up the slack. That leaves the nudity, which is abundant and spectacular, although even there the filmmakers commit a strategic mistake: by having several characters, including the leads, topless within the first few minutes, they lay all their cards on the table too soon: the viewers have seen it all (literally) and have nothing to look forward to. So even though Valerie Kaprisky and Caroline Cellier are both very attractive and very uninhibited, most of the film, with the possible exception of a couple of scenes involving Barbara Nielsen, is about as erotic as a Wall Street report. And about as boring. * out of 4.
