Class and Tawdriness on the Internet. Where’s the News? It Ain’t Cheap.

Starring Gérard Depardieu as Strauss-Kahn and Jacqueline Bisset as his now-former wife, Anne Sinclair, the English-language film will be available online for 7 euros during the Cannes film festival, the movie’s producers told the press.

Brahim Chioua, one of the film’s producers and co-founder of Wild Bunch, added,

“By releasing the film [on the web], we’re reaching those few people who want to see fat on skinny sex as fast as possible.” Pausing he added, “and of course, there is always the universal moral: look what you can do if you have money. You can pork out and still have sex.”

    Guess I’ll stick with King of New York.
