Review of Me, Myself and Mum (2013) by Dennis L — 24 Jan 2014
This is a very original screenplay. I saw it and was impressed by the uniqueness of this true story. Guilliaume Gallienne is a member of the pretigious Comedie Francaise in Paris. This is the equivalent of being a member of the Royal Shakespeare Theater in London for instance.
He wrote, directed and starred in the semi-autobiographical film. Rarely do I think about a film for a long time after seeing one, this is the sign of a truly great film. The film is hilariously funny, but it has moments of great pathos and tragedy, because it is about a family system, the archetypal relationship between mother and child, father and child, and to a great extent about common Western concepts about what it is to be a man.
The ending is surprising. It is a lovely work of art and I believe it will become a cult film. Go see it.
