Synopsis:

Rose and Yann, thirty somethings, have been together for two years and now want a baby. A piece of cake! A man and a woman, a cabbage and a rose, it's as old as the hills, that's nature! To become three all it takes is two. Or at least, when nature cooperates... because when it doesn't, when you want to be three too hard, isn't there a risk of going from two to one? Why is it so complicated?! All Rose and Yann want is just: a baby.

The flipside of Judd Apatow's "Knocked Up" in every sense, Gallic comedy "A Burning Desire" recounts the frequently unfunny shenanigans of a loving couple having problems getting pregnant. Writer-helmer Bernard Jeanjean ("Tell Me I'm Pretty") and co-scribe Martine Fontaine have their protags race through various fertility techniques, but the broad comedic vibe -- mostly defined by intercourse-related humor - never meshes with the film's sadder, more serious undercurrent. Released as counterprogramming during the Cannes fest, pic failed to conceive grandiose results locally.
