Blame it on mum
Quelque chose à te dire
Director: Cécile Telerman
Actors: Mathilde Seigner, Olivier Marchal, Pascal Elbé, Charlotte Rampling, Patrick Chesnais, Sophie Cattani
The Celliers are an ordinary family: they are all totally nuts.
Mady (Charlotte Rampling), the mother, a vibrant sixty-year-old, spends most of her time saying absolutely horrible things about
her daughters and husband, Henry (Patrick Chesnais), formerly a leading businessman, who has been behaving strangely ever
since he retired.
Antoine (Pascal Elbé), the oldest son, a CEO incapable of managing a firm, goes from one bankruptcy to another, while Alice
(Mathilde Seigner) his sister, between abortions, paints obsessively, a series of depressed and drug-addicted madonnas.
As for Annabelle (Sophie Cattani), a nurse in an intensive care ward, she tries desperately to save her nearest and dearest by
reading their futures in the cards.
It would be the best of all possible worlds for the Celliers except that Alice has a “chance” encounter, one night when she’s
depressed, with Jacques (Olivier Marchal), a cynical and lonely cop, who becomes the spanner in the perfectly oiled works of
the family neuroses. Everything explodes... for better or for worse.
Charlotte Rampling is sublime, backed by a stunning cast, in a storyline that will probably sound familiar to all of us.
