Wiki.
Going Places is a 1974 French comedy-drama film co-written and directed by Bertrand Blier, and based on his own novel. Its original title is Les Valseuses, which translates into English as "the waltzers", a vulgar French slang term for "the testicles". It stars Miou-Miou, Gérard Depardieu and Patrick Dewaere.
It is one of the most controversial films in French cinema due to its vulgarity, depiction of sexual acts, nudity and amorality. However, Blier's later acclaim for the rest of his filmography made it a cult film for modern critics.
In the film, a duo of criminals commit sexual assault, car theft, kidnapping, and rape within a short time period. After a consensual threesome with a female ex-convict, they are surprised when she commits suicide. They decide to ally themselves with her young son, who is also an ex-convict. They unwittingly help their new ally in a revenge murder, and then have to flee from murder charges. One of their former victims willingly joins them in their flight.
