This movie opens with a young woman on a slab in the hospital morgue, the apparent victim of an ecstasy overdose. The morgue attendants (a fairly sick bunch) stash her away and go home, but one of them slips back in later on to perform a little sexual post-mortem on his own. And guess what? The woman comes to, aroused from a drug-induced coma. The rest of the movie has the woman and the guys from the morgue hanging out together, engaging in some discreetly shot kinky sex, and standing watch with a friend who's dying of AIDS. They talk a lot, too, but it's hard to care about anything they're saying, and the subtitles are hard to read, anyway. (I guess it helps to know French.) The girl who turns out not to be dead is played by Elodie Bouchez, who's never hard to watch, but if getting it on with a corpse is something you'd like to spend more time learning about, you'd be better off checking out Jorg Buttgereit's "Nekromantik", or the 1996 Molly Parker movie "Kissed".
