Synopsis [edit]
Damien is a shameless chauvinist who has all the benefits of living in a patriarchal society. After a bump to the head, Damien passes out. When he wakes up, he finds himself in what seems to be an alternate universe where gender roles are reversed and women have the power. Damien feels confused: now that he experiences sexism he struggles to find his place in this foreign new world. He meets and seduces Alexandra, an influential novelist who is herself a chauvinist.[3]

Production [edit]
The film finds its origins in Oppressed Majority (French: Majorité opprimée), a 2010 short film directed by Pourriat, about a stay-at-home dad who experiences sexism in a parallel, female-dominated world, and eventually becomes the victim of sexual assault.[3] [4] In 2014, after being released on video-sharing platform YouTube with English-language subtitles, the short garnered international attention[4] and Pourriat was approached by Netflix to develop a new, larger project based on the initial premise. Pourriat initially wanted to make a series, but she eventually reached an agreement with Netflix to produce a feature-length romantic comedy with the help of producers Eleonore Dailly and Edouard de Lachomette.[3]
The film premiered on Netflix on April 13, 2018. In accordance with French laws on digital film distribution, the film was not scheduled for theatrical release in France, in order to be immediately available online.[5] Pierre Bénézit, the lead actor in Oppressed Majority, played the supporting character Christophe in I Am Not an Easy Man.[4]
Reception [edit]
Étienne Sorin, in Le Figaro, deplores an "uneven comedy" and conventional.[6] For her part, Arièle Bonte, on RTL, advises the vision of the film for, in particular, the disturbing subject likely to change mentalities and the "amazing" quality of the interpretation of Marie-Sophie Ferdane.[7]
