The Easy Way Out (French title: L'Art de la fugue) is a 2014 French comedy-drama film directed by Brice Cauvin, based on the novel The Easy Way Out by Stephen McCauley,[3] which was published in French as L'Art de la fugue.

The plot concerns three brothers: Antoine is gay, in his mid-30s, and lives with his boyfriend Adar; Louis, the youngest, is having an affair while engaged to his high school sweetheart; and Gérard, the oldest, has separated from his wife and works for his parents in their slowly failing clothing store. Antoine introduces his friend Ariel into this family dynamic just as each of the brothers tries to come to terms with his failed or strained relationship.
