MOTHER AND SON (2022)
[UN PETIT FRÈRE]
Annabelle Lengronne gives a powerful performance as Rose, a headstrong woman who moves from Abidjan to Paris in the '90s with her two sons Jean and Ernest (another two sons remain back in Côte d'Ivoire). Sharing space in a cramped apartment with her relatives, Rose spurns the advances of neighbor and would-be suitor Julius Caesar (Jean-Christophe Folly) and instead begins a relationship with married Frenchman Thierry (Thibaut Evrard). The latest film from writer-director Léonor Serraille (MONTPARNASSE BIENVENÜE, winner of the 2017 Camera d'Or at Cannes) traces the ups and downs in a strong woman's adventurous life, and her two young boys' sometimes unconventional journey to manhood in her company. Official Selection, 2022 Cannes Film Festival. DIR/SCR Léonor Serraille; PROD Sandra da Fonseca. France, 2022, color, 116 min. In French with English subtitles. NOT RATED
