What is Special about this DVD?
This is a very rare DVD, and is Region 2 PAL (Compatible with all UK and European DVD players). Please note that this is 9 minutes longer than the TV version, and DOES contain nudity (multiple males and females). Also, this does have the original Dolby Digital English Audio track. There is some tremendously memorable dialogue in this one.

This is a tremendously well cast film, featuring Parker Posey, Jeremy Northam, Craig Chester, Elizabeth McGovern, Brooke Shields, and Corbin Bernsen in a lighthearted comedy

Plot Summary:
Parker Posey visits France before starting grad school to lose her virginity to a Frenchman so she won't be the only postgrad virgin in school. She wakes up in the morning with him only to discover that he is English. When he proposes, she answers, "I just lost my virginity, not my mind."

They do marry, and return to New York. Cut to several years in the future. She is given an award for her best selling novel, and we see that all is not well with her marriage. He is a Junior College professor of poetry, and spending most of his energy on work. She becomes absorbed in a French diary she is translating and adapting for her next novel, and visits France to see the actual chateau in the diary. As she is basically adding sex to the story, it, and the fact that one of her husband's students has the hots for him inflames her libido. There, she nearly has her tryst with a Frenchman. From this point on, we are asked to keep track of two stories -- the one we have been watching, and the adventures of the heroine of Parker's novel. She returns home, still feeling that something is missing in her life. When her Frenchman visits, she nearly has sex with him, but he passes because, "you make the noise, I don't know how you say in English -- like a pig?" When she discovers that her sister and her sister's best friend have been intimate, she tries for a lesbian tryst with her, but is rejected. Margaret finally scores with the dentist, after which she goes to her best friend's apartment (he is gay). The friend finds her topless in the bath.
