Ma Mere

The incomparable Isabelle Huppert (The Piano Teacher, I love Huckabees) once again provokes and enthralls in this vivid character study of a modern woman testing the boundaries of lifes pleasures and pains. Pierre (Louis Garrel, The Dreamers) has come to the Canary Islands to stay with his mother Hélène (Huppert), but after his fathers death it becomes clear that there are too many things the teen doesnt know, and his mother is committed to ensuring his sons education. At once sexually charged, romantic and frightening, director Christophe Honorés uncompromising adaptation of Georges Batailles posthumous novel is a brave journey into dark, uncharted areas of the human soul, guided by one of the screens great actresses.
