Extension du domaine de la lutte
The protagonist, known only as Our Hero, is a lonely computer programmer who earns enough money but has no friends and has not had sex in over two years. Depressed, he basks in his sullen interior ruminations about the meaninglessness of mass consumption and human contact. One day, he teams up with Raphael Tisserand (Jose Garcia), a 28-year-old virgin who runs training seminars. Neither has ever had any kind of positive contact, and after they meet, their chances of improving their prospects seem as remote as ever. (All Movie Guide)

Very faithful to the book, which means it's full of incredibly depressing musings on the dire state of modern life and sex(lessness). This makes individual scenes stand out with such startling and frank narrations, but makes it tedious when presented in this narrative context. The only scene not from the book is the entirely fabricated final scene, which just about shits all over the movie's previous intentions.
