• Café Life is the Colony's main hangout, watering hole and meeting point.

    This is a place where you'll meet and make writing friends, and indulge in stratospherically-elevated wit or barometrically low humour.

    Some Colonists pop in religiously every day before or after work. Others we see here less regularly, but all are equally welcome. Two important grounds rules…

    • Don't give offence
    • Don't take offence

    We now allow political discussion, but strongly suggest it takes place in the Steam Room, which is a private sub-forum within Café Life. It’s only accessible to Full Members.

1) Depardieu is grotesquely, preposterously, life-threateningly obese. I have never seen such a shockingly fat, naked man.

2) I found some of the orgies unintentionally funny, but no-one else in the cinema was laughing, so I didn’t dare.

3) The two rape scenes are not funny at all.

4) Even actors of the calibre of Depardieu and Bisset cannot reliably improvise. Films have writers for a reason, guys.

5) Contrary to his stated intention, Depardieu unintentionally makes the Dominique Strauss-Kahn character sympathetic, particularly as he is being “processed” by the NYPD authorities. Did you really intend this, Abel?

6) There’s a rawness about the film that works.

7) It could have been a whole lot better.
