L'Histoire des gros mots

Un simple divertissement en six épisodes, on est bien d’accord. Mais quand même, le génial Nicolas Cage en guide poétique et vulgaire, ça vaut le détour ! (28/12/2021)

Nick Cage on the lively history of dicks, bitches, shit and good old damn. Professional interpretations by linguists alternate with comedians, all rude and some homosexual. Each word is interesting/entertaining to varying degrees, so weak episodes alternate with great ones. (08/01/2021)

You can't really expect anything deep or groundbreaking from a documentary that dives into the origins of words like "fuck," "shit," and "bitch" in the English language, and that's totally fine. The real gem here is that it's hosted by none other than Nicolas Cage, which honestly says it all. It's like giving a charismatic person a college thesis on swearing and letting them just run with it. A fun, light watch—just interesting and entertaining enough to keep you hooked. (07/01/2021)
