What The Decline of the American Empire Is About
Eight Montreal academics are gathering at a lakeside house for dinner. The first half of the film splits them in two: four men cooking in the kitchen and four women working out at a gym, all talking about exactly the same thing, which is sex. Who slept with whom, who is concealing what, who only pretends to believe what they say. Some of it lands on the table once they sit down. Arcand's thesis is in the title: a civilisation declines when private pleasure becomes the only project anyone has left.
