Plot summary

Four very different Montreal university teachers gather at a rambling country house to prepare a dinner. Remy (married), Claude (a homosexual), Pierre (involved with a girlfriend) and Alain (a bachelor) discuss sex, the female body and their affairs with them. Meanwhile, their four female guests, Louise (Remy's wife of 15 years), Dominique (a spinster), Diane (a divorcée) and Danielle (Pierre's girlfriend) are spending the time at a downtown health gym. They also discuss sex, the female body and, naturally, men. Later in the evening, they finally meet at the country house and have dinner. A ninth guest, named Mario, who used to know Diane, drops in on the group for some talk and has a surprise of his own.

A cult movie that shows how good the Canadian film industry had been for decades. The movie is one of the most extraordinary that I have ever seen, I watched it ten times at least. It's a joy to see such a group of exceptional actors who play a superbly rich script while being directed with enormous talent. It makes me think that Denys Arcand in his active years was like a Canadian Pedro Almodovar.

Granted, the comparisons between Denys Arcand's The Decline

Granted, the comparisons between Denys Arcand's The Decline of the American Empire and The Big Chill are valid in very general terms, but the similarities end there. Whereas The Big Chill is filled with interesting characters, intriguing moral dilemmas, and a killer soundtrack, The Decline of the American Empire is filled with middle-aged intellectuals blathering on in great detail about their improbably wild sex lives…and the decline of great civilizations. It's all very well done, but it is really just a matter of time before you starting getting a bit bored by all of the gritty details…and there are a lot of gritty details.
