Merci Docteur Rey!

Over the top and out of their minds!

Take a handsome 23-year-old (Stanislas Merhar) with a penchant for personal ads, his opera-diva mother (Dianne Wiest at her glorious best), her impeccably coutured director and friend (the splendid Bulle Ogier), an enigmatically odd actress (the intriguingly skittish Jane Birkin), a few young hustlers, plus Vanessa Redgrave, Simon Callow and Jerry Hall...add a good dose of narcissism, a little murder and a lost father...the inimitable Paris as a backdrop, a wonderful soundtrack (from pop to Turandot) and a whimsical homage to film and celebrity...and you´ve got Merci Docteur Rey!

Merchant Ivory has a great instinct for talent and brings together some of the best for Andrew Litvack´s debut feature. For his part, Litvack proves worthy of his mentor´s heritage in this hilarious and amoral tale.

Featuring Dianne Wiest (Bullets over Broadway, Hannah and Her Sisters), Jane Birkin (Evil under the Sun, Blow-Up), Simon Callow (A Room with a View), Vanessa Redgrave (Howards End, Julia), Bulle Ogier (Maitresse, Venus Beauty Institute), Jerry Hall (Batman).
