A satirical romantic comedy 'Picnic on the Grass' is a playful and visually beautiful film inspired by the paintings of Renoir's father Auguste. Stuffy presidential candidate Etienne Alexis is a scientist who believes the passion should be eliminated and that artificial insemination will be the world's salvation. To celebrate his engagement to a German scout mistress he hosts a picnic in the countryside. But soon Alexis is thrown together with Nenette, a beautiful farm girl who shows him that science is no substitute for love.

Ghastly remake - Picnic on the Grass review by KG

Spoiler Alert
Updated 25/08/2020

Not the original film which was unfinished.   It's a ghastly remake.   Unfunny.  Film and dialogue are mysteriously fast.
