 | I cannot rate this film because I haven't seen it. I wish to neither recommend nor condemn it. So I give it 3 stars as a means of remaining neutral.
The purpose here is to offer a possible translation of the French description of the film. Since I have not seen it, I must interpret here and there, fill in a blank or two (some things are grammatically or contextually inferred) and offer alternative meanings. Hopefully, this will give you a general idea of what this film contains.
"A crazy day [in the life] of a (male) libertine summoned by a
thousand pleasures, attracted [lured?] by several women... Diderot, in the hands of an adventuress, is subjected to the excessive gastronomic desires of a baroness. (He) struggles against the censure of an execrable red cardinal and attempts to control the (sexual) assaults of his wife, his daughter, a nymphomaniac lady knight, and a young girl who wants to lose her virginity before evening. A torrid and excentric day, a moment of flesh, silk and wit, where philosophy plays teasingly with eroticism."
Perhaps a professional translator can do better. But that's basically it.
