Master Cats

Jun 9, 1971

An example of 1970's Maple Syrup cinema from Quebec, this whimsical and sexy tale revolves around two trickster roommates and the women in their lives who want to see them settle down. The two insatiable male con artists seek to avoid marriage at all costs. The bachelors however seek a housekeeper. Who will they hire? A caricatured middle-aged faggot who will soon be affectionately called Môman. The heroes are understandably hesitant to have a faggot in the house, but it's better than a woman yearning for marriage. However, Môman has another function. The two “straight” heroes are far too intimate—they often sleep together, naked in the same bed, go to the bathroom together, and display a voyeuristic fascination with each other’s sex scenes.
