J’ai Tué Ma Mère – I Killed My Mother
I Killed My Mother
Year: 2009
Country: Canada
Genre: Biography/Drama
Director: Xavier Dolan
Mark: 1 to 5 [5!]
Plot: Hubert Minel, a brash 17-year-old, dislikes his mother intensely. He gauges her with contempt, only seeing her out-of-date sweaters, her kitschy decor and the vile bread crumbs that lodge in the corners of her noisy mouth. Below the surface of these irritating traits, lie the ingrained mechanisms that his mother has always cultivated so dearly – manipulation and guilt. Hubert, confused and torn by a love-hate relationship that obsesses him more and more each day, wanders in and out of an adolescence that is both marginal and typical, combining artistic discovery, openness to friendship, ostracism and sex.
Personal View: Best movie. Just the fact that the director is the writer and also the actor and be a biography movie, says for itself. The conflict with the mother so strong and impossible to happens an agreement. Normally french movies are good, and this didn’t disappointed me at all. Never saw before a mother singing Edith Piaf in a middle of a discussion, just awesome! Highly recommended!
Get here the movie.
That’s all folks ;*
