Two aimless drifters spend their days wandering the French countryside looking for trouble and women. Their hedonistic spree of petty crime and debauchery usually results in them fighting or running their way out of trouble.

Going Places review by AS
Comedy or misogyny?

This was the first film Depardieu was in and it made him a star in France. The film was a big hit in 1974 and although it feels somewhat dated today it still has a cult following. The film is absurd and outrageous at times and certainly not politically correct. The way the film represents women is questionable and as a woman I found this film uncomfortable to watch at times. But overall I think I found Blier's blatant attempts to shock a bit tiresome really.

Going Places review by JD
Aimless but compelling
(0) of (0) members found this review helpful.
This is pretty random in places with quite a lot of loose ends. The plot is held together by a thread, but the editing has to be seen to be believed, great chunks hacked at illogical points. At first I thought it was for censorship reasons but other times it clearly is not. Anyway it sways from violent to erotic to comic in a pleasant way and is eventually compelling. Some very silly moments that you will remember for a while.

Going Places review by Shatner's Bassoon
Shocking by today's standards, but with a certain charm.
(0) of (0) members found this review helpful.
While it is very much a product of its time, I have to agree with another reviewer about the level of misogyny and violence against women in this film. At first it seemed mildly amusing with the characters of Jean-Claude and Pierrot as likeable rogues who steal what they want and have sex with who they want and within the context of the film it was somewhat justifiable, but halfway through the film it started to made me feel fairly uncomfortable. Despite the uncomfortable aspects of the film it's extremely watchable and strangely has a certain charm about it.
