6.0It is a question here of deploying all the humor inherent in the act of having a first child at the age of forty-five... But it is also a question of civic-mindedness, respect for intelligence, weight words, the weight of the self, the triumph of the “I”, then a little bit of Henri Richard and people who say “knock on wood”. A vibrant soliloquy on life and the art of living it.

NRWithout shame, she does not hesitate to lay herself bare and talk about the flaws, the differences and the oddities that spice up her life and those around her. Apparently Korine grew up in a home for the elderly and it colored her life; his family takes photos at funeral homes; and, in all her splendor, she sleeps with an occlusal plate. Self-deprecation could be her middle name.

Les pénitences

NRTwo estranged sisters reconnect in the wake of their mother's death in this intimate tale of musical healing. It's been years since Brigitte has seen her sister Candide or their recently-deceased mother, though when she is called on to sing at the funeral her since of duty supercedes any lingering family conflicts. But it's obvious that Candide harbors a lingering grudge, and as the alienated sisters come together in grief at their mother's country home unspoken hostilities gradually simmer to the surface. Both siblings are noted singer songwriters; Candide specializing in a more delicate brand of acoustic ballads and Brigitte using her talents to exorcise a lingering inner rage. The history of their relationship is written in Candide's lyrics, providing remarkable insight into the sibling's stormy relationship. Eventually, Brigitte discovers a tape of her mother's old music, leading the two sisters to collaborate on a song that could finally help to begin the healing process.
