The seven major sins receive treatment from some of France’s greatest directors in this lively portmanteau. “Anger” by Dhomme, chronicles a single horrific day when every bowl of soup in France is found to contain a fly. This causes a devastating nationwide revolt. “Envy” by Molinaro tells the story of a chambermaid whose dream of sleeping with a millionaire comes true. Unfortunately, she goes back to work and finds herself still consumed with jealousy. De Broca’s “Gluttony” provides one of the film’s most enjoyable episodes as it follows the exploits of a voracious family heading off for a funeral. “Lust” by Demy is set at a Parisian sidewalk cafe and eavesdrops upon the lusty conversation between two young men, one of whom has x-ray eyes that enable him to see through women’s clothing. “Laziness” by Godard features real life matinee idol Constantine as a movie star who finds himself too sluggish to respond to the starlet trying so hard to seduce him. “Pride” by Roger Vadim tells the satirical tale of a philandering wife who changes her mind and stays with her husband after learning that her happy home is being threatened by another woman. Finally in Chabrol’s “Greed,” young men who have pooled their meager resources to buy a prostitute, fight for the chance to be with her.
