Pas très catholique (Not Very Catholic, English title Something Fishy) is a 1994 French comedy film written and directed by Tonie Marshall.
[4] Years ago Maxime left her husband and child to strike out on her own, out of her upper class background and into a more bohemian lifestyle, chain-smoking and having affairs with lovers of both genders.
[5] Derek Elley reviewed the film for Variety, writing that "Though dominated by a striking, lived-in performance from Gallic comedienne Anemone, "Something Fishy" is too easygoing for its own good.
"[6] Carrie Tarr and Brigitte Rollet cover the film in Cinema and the Second Sex, stating that "Marshall's empathy with her original, outspoken heroine is obvious in the endless close-ups of Anémone/Max's aging, unconventionally attractive face and body, and the way she is constantly in shot, by day and by night, in the streets of Paris and in her bedsit or office, on the move and at rest, insolent and melancholy.
"[7] In Fifty Years Berlinale Wolfgang Jacobson et al noted that the movie was the "surprise of the competition" at the 44th Berlin International Film Festival.
