Quote:
Jean Eustache is filming an evening with friends here, during which actor-turned-psychoanalyst Jean-Noël Picq delivers his personal analysis of Jérôme Bosch’s painting “The Garden of Earthly Delights”. Between this conversation between friends, cigarette and glass of wine in hand, the infernal creatures of Bosch arise, raising more questions than explanations…

Quote:
The same voyeuristic story, told by two different men: first by Michaël Lonsdale, in a « fiction » version, then by Jean-Noël Picq, in a « document » version. The way the film was shot is worth mentioning: Eustache first got his friend Jean Noël-Picq to sit down with a group of people (including The Mother and the Whore’s Françoise Lebrun) and recount a strange episode in his life: how in the men’s room of a local restaurant, he found a hole in the wall and peered through, finding that he had a perfect view of the ladies’ room. He became a regular patron, and his daily dose of scopophilia turned into an addiction until one day, with some relief, he found that the hole had been plastered over. Then Eustache “remade” his own film in a scripted, 35 mm version, with the critic Jean Douchet as the “director” and Michel Lonsdale in the Picq role. One of the cinema’s great curiosities, A Dirty Story exerts a mysterious – and often uncomfortably voyeuristic – fascination.

Quote:
In the final order chosen by Eustache for the screening, the fiction film comes before the documentary (the opposite of the shooting process), with the result that the documentary finds itself contaminated by the fiction and we are led to distrust the two versions. The story Eustache chose for the exercise, however, is a most shocking story of male voyeurism, and the audience mostly female, with the result that, eager to express our hilarity or outrage, we brush aside any suspicion we might have had about its authenticity. In the end, we are reminded that the power of film is not dependent on a faithful representation of reality, but lies in its evocative qualities (whether visual or aural) and in its effects on the audience’s imagination.
Ultimately, it’s fascinating diptych of a man relating his obsession with looking through a peephole into a café bathroom. A Dirty Story presents documentary and fictional versions of the same shameful tale, a dandified account of voyeurism and humiliation that works both as a sexual parable and as an allegory for cinephilia.

Quote:
A group of friends listen as one man tells them a story about a time when, in a small cafe, he discovered a peephole into the ladies’ bathroom and became addicted to looking through it at female genitals. They ask him questions and come to conclusions about sex. This is a filmed, scripted version. Then, the actual person who this happened to relates the same story; this time, however, it is an unscripted documentary, in which the same things occur as in the scripted one.
