Review of A Self-Made Hero (1996) by Amelia L — 22 Jun 2008
This is a thoroughly entertaining film which cleverly draws attention to the mythological nature of personal and national histories. The story is framed as a documentary, narrated by the older Dehousse (played by Jean-Louis Trintignant), his memories rich in period detail, yet Audiard constantly reminds us that this is a fiction with moments of fantasy, stylized sequences and by cutting back to the chamber ensemble who provide the musical soundtrack.
Excellent.
