Maman est chez le coiffeur (Mommy's at the Hairdresser). 2008. Canada. Directed by Léa Pool. Screenplay by Isabelle Hébert. With Marianne Fortier, Céline Bonnier, Laurent Lucas, Gabriel Arcand. Pool, who has earned an international following with such films as Anne Trister (1986) and Set Me Free (1999), has crafted an astringent, unsentimental tale about a pubescent girl whose world crumbles, one summer in the 1960s, with her parents' separation. Sustained by the beauty of the Quebec countryside and the grudging friendship of a strange man, she attempts to keep her shell-shocked father and brothers from complete social retreat—but her admirable gumption is severely tested. In French; English subtitles. 99 min.
Thursday, March 19, 2009, 8:30 p.m., Theater 1, T1 (East Coast premiere)
Sunday, March 22, 2009, 2:00 p.m., Theater 1, T1 (East Coast premiere)

  • that sounds like a French film ending

  • I liked this movie yet I was a little (actually very) disappointed at the ending.

    It seems like the movie ends abruptly midway through it.

  • I don't know whether you already found out, but I liked it too, so I listened hard for the lyrics, and found that it's called "The Great Escape", originally by Patrick Watson, and covered here by Élie Dupuis, one of the actors in the film. His voice is amazing. There's a video of him singing this song at /watch?v=vUp2YnsTSmQ and I recommend watching the other videos on that FriendsOfElie account, if you like this song.

  • whats that stunning song at the end? id love to know the name
