Resurrected in the French satirical farce 'The Names of Love," that hippie free-loving attitude is personified by Baya Benmahmoud (Sara Forestier), a charming, insouciant whack job in her 20s who boasts that she always sleeps with a man on their first date. The daughter of an Algerian immigrant and a onetime French radical, Baya carries that philosophy to comic extremes that would have been unimaginable even in 1968. She is also a walking wardrobe malfunction, who is so absent-minded that her breasts are repeatedly falling out of her shirt. In one of the movie's funniest scenes she dashes into the Paris M?o naked but for a pair of boots and startles an Islamic fundamentalist couple across the car. Baya blithely wields her body as a weapon of political persuasion. On meeting a man who is even a shade to the right of her avidly left-wing politics; or in her words, a 'fascist," a term she drops as casually as others say 'dude" and 'babe"; she drags him into bed for a quickie conversion. Just as he is about to lose control, she whispers things like, 'Not all Algerians are thieves." The screenplay by Michel Leclerc, who also directed, and Baya Kasmi doesn't pretend that her sex magic always has the desired effect. ...The Names of Love ( Le nom des gens ) ( People's Names )
