A hilarious, wildly erotic, and biting satire of Hollywood, Blue Movie tells the story of King B., an Oscar-winning director who's determined to shoot the dirtiest and most expensive X-rated movie ever made; Sid Krassman, a producer who's made a fortune catering to the tastes of the American public, and Angela Sterling, a misunderstood sex symbol who'd give anything (and everything) for a chance to do something "serious."

À première vue, Colette est une grand-mère ordinaire : chapeau en plastique sur la tête, napperons en dentelle sur les lampes, belote le mardi et présence régulière chez le médecin pour des maladies imaginaires. En somme, une veuve acariâtre tout ce qu'il y a de plus classique. En réalité, Colette s'est minutieusement forgé ce rôle de petite vieille dans le but de faire enrager son fils qui la voit déjà grabataire... En catimini, elle lit des mangas érotiques, troque son déambulateur contre un skateboard et fréquente des cabarets en bonne compagnie.

Add to that his abysmal parenting of his three (or is it four?) children and the biohazard status of his flat, and life isn't a bed of roses.
