Pere de mes Enfants
[The Father of My Children]
(2008)

RATING:40%
TECHNICAL QUALITY:DVD



Rather self-indulgent look at the independent film business that expresses the solipsistic and narcissistic world the Western bourgeoisie live in.

Well-written and performed - as well as amusing - yet, the childish attitude here is that the quality of a work is inversely-determined by the number of people who see it. This is the pretension that worthlessness is a badge of honor or respect - a badge that this film, itself, would dearly love to wear.

It is hard to empathize with suicides - especially those who are simply running away from their problems rather than facing up to them. Like this film, the characters here focus too much on art and not enough on entertainment; resulting in a film that is unfocused with very little to say for itself.
