Review

Louis Malle directed Damage (1992), which lives up to its name. Jeremy Irons plays an elected official who ends up stealing his son's girlfriend, played with seductive charm by Juliette Binoche. Talk about dirty politics. Juliette damages audiences' loins by somehow appearing naked throughout the film and yet not showing much more than a glance of her French pastries or a side view of her baguette-raising rump. Miranda Richardson, as Irons's wife, discovers his infidelity and confronts him topless with her finger-like nips pointing at the adulterer with a juggy j'accuse. Even Irons gets into the act and runs after his son through an apartment stairwell with his sausage flopping between his legs. That sends his offspring flying off the banister and down to his death. Admittedly, it's a scary sight, and the real damage to an otherwise skinful picture.
