Add to a movie listL'art (délicat) de la séduction (English: The (Delicate) Art of Seduction) is a 2001 French film directed by Richard Berry. The soundtrack for the film was composed by Éric Serra. The film follows Etienne (Patrick Timsit), a 40-year-old car designer, who takes time off from work to study sexual mastery from a Zen master (Alain Chabat) and several prostitutes, in the hopes of having the sexual skill to impress Laure (Cécile de France). Laure, a blonde who was introduced to him by his friend Jacques (Richard Berry), told Etienne on January 1 that she will not have sex with him until May 27 that year at precisely 9pm. Lisa Nesselson from Variety gave a negative review of the film, stating it played "like a tepid cross between “Rocky” and any number of prick-teasing comedies".
Synopsis
Étienne est de caractère pointilleux et n'a pas connu beaucoup de femmes, préférant se réserver pour le grand amour. Un jour, il le rencontre en la personne de Laure, une femme très sensuelle, et par chance Laure semble aussi conquise par Étienne. Mais à sa grande surprise, Laure ne lui accorde un rendez-vous que dans cinq mois...Actors

François (Bernard Campan) is a bored office worker with health problems. He visits a brothel and claiming to have won the lottery and millions of euros, he propositions Daniela (Monica Bellucci), one of the prostitutes to live with him for the sum of 100,000 euros a month until his money runs out. She accepts. François' first doctor, André, is worried that Daniela's volcanic sexuality will cause François' heart to give out. The next day she takes François to beach and he loves that fresh air. They both starts running with hands wide out and cheering in joy. Then they both involve in sex inside François's car. That night André inquires them and finds their sexual activity that evening. Then André gives a moving speech about an idealistic and unrequited love he has for a nurse who later became his patient. Later, when Daniela suffers food poisoning and André is summoned to treat her, when she undresses he suffers a stroke and dies. At the funeral, François learns that André's nurse/patient/girlfriend had died some years before. The arrangement between Daniela and François seems to work for a little while until Daniela's former lover, Charly (Gérard Depardieu) demands money to allow the relationship to continue. François refuses and Daniela resumes being with Charly. While Daniela is having sex with Charly, she realizes she has really fallen in love with François who has meanwhile, started an affair with his next-door neighbor. The film concludes with a surreal pastiche of fantasy and conjecture which begins with François admitting that he never won the lottery.
