Review of Ma mère (2004) by April N — 29 Jan 2012
Seventeen year-old Pierre vows blind love to his mother, who isn't ready to handle what her son projects onto her. Refusing to be loved for something she isn't, she decides to break all mystery and reveal her true nature, that of a woman for whom immorality has become an addiction.
Pierre is going to ask her to initiate him into debauchery and to go all the way in this more and more dangerous game...
I love subtitled films , and I usually love the way foreign films are not as hypocritical as the US concerning nudity and sex, but this made me queasy. The incest was just too much for me to handle. Two stars because I'm a Huppert fan. And Louis Garrel did a fantastic job.
