New York City
In this boisterous and philosophical comedy, Jacques and his master bounce across France getting into trouble (mostly of a sexual nature). In the midst of all the hijinks, observations are made regarding the nature of love between men and women, gender politics, the class system, the immorality of bad poets, the triumph of gentle wisdom over cruel cleverness and an ultimate truth?that we just don’t know which way we’re going. Warm, witty, wise and naughty, JACQUES AND HIS MASTER is superbly entertaining.
