# French Twist (1995)

1995 · 104 min · Comedy · France

Original title: Gazon maudit

## Synopsis

French Twist is a 1995 French comedy cult film written and directed by Josiane Balasko. It is among the few French films that have released a dubbed version for English-speaking audiences. Its title in French is untranslatable but 'Cursed Lawn' is a close approximation. It also refers to the shaving of pubic hair, a subtle joke in French alluding to the subject matter of the film.
