Released outside of France as Travels on the Sky, Voyage en Douce stars Dominique Sanda and Geraldine Chaplin
as sisters. Both ladies are married, though Chaplin has just left her
husband. Insecure about this move, Chaplin joins the self-reliant Sanda
for a weekend vacation in the south of France, where the two siblings
carry on a long discussion about male-female relationships. By the time
Monday rolls around, the previously indecisive Chaplin emerges as the
more resilient of the two sisters. Voyage en Douce director Michel Deville
prevailed upon 15 famous French writers to contribute anecdotes
concerning their sexual experiences; the most powerful (and best staged)
was the story of a rape--a story contributed anonymously.
