She lost her pants. He lost his mind. French farce gets unhinged.

Trivia, insights & behind the scenes
Based on Carl Sternheim's 1911 Expressionist play 'Die Hose,' a satirical weapon against German bourgeois morality.
Sternheim's original was so scandalous it was banned in Munich; this 1987 adaptation kept the chaos but Frenchified the panic.
