'' French Twist '' ( ) is a cult 1995 French comedy film . It was written and directed by Josiane Balasko . The film was one of very few French films to have a dubbed version for English audiences . Its title in French is untranslatable but ' Cursed Lawn ' is a close approximation . It also refers to the shaving ( or not ) of pubic hair , a subtle joke in French alluding to the subject matter of the film . The film was selected as the French entry for the Best Foreign Language Film at the 68th Academy Awards , but was not accepted as a nominee
