Today's Téchéné film is about the mom from hell.

Ma Saison Préférée / Ny Favorite Season (1993)

in which a brother and sister reunite with their mother when she has a stroke.

As it turns out, she is OK but the family is not.

Siblings, family history, the estate. All these things hover around seemingly random conversation. Daniel Autieul and Catherine Deneuve in great performances as they dance around a life together and apart. Success seems a dim satisfaction compared to getting family stuff sorted out.

It makes me happier that I was an only child. I still am.

A 5 out of Netflix5.

And thus endeth the Téchéné fest. A good time was had by all.
