I speak no French (although I damn well should, after years of taking the language in high school), but it was the French-language version of this that I saw in Quebec while our family was vacationing there. I got the gist the story, but still did not find it especially memorable.
I saw this recently on Turner Classic Movies - what a strange strange movie - not really sure what the intended conclusion you're supposed to take away from it after viewing it ... but eh, it was certainly unique.
