Mom
A brother and sister still working on sibling problems after all these years
Andre Techine's
Ma saison préférée / My Favorite Season (1993)
Catherine Deneuve again with Daniel Auteuil. A grand child says "Grand mother was a bitch but she had character".
You can say that again. Marthe Villalonga normally a comic actress plays the tough to take Mom.
I know there is Oedipus and also Elektra, there is plenty of the latter. But I don't know what the struggle between siblings is called.
This one is classic and the theme of this film.
A family drama. Mother's hold is pretty tight. She wishes she had a third kid so that at least one of them would have taken her in as she gets old. I know how that sounds from a Mom. Personally.
This is a serious film with complications I do not understand because I was an only child. It seems to me that these sibs are a little too close but what do I know?
A good movie, a 5 out of Netflix5.
The man himself, Andre Techine.
