Après Lui (DVD)
Après Lui. 2007.
If you’re a fan of Catherine Deneuve (or French film), you'll enjoy Après Lui (English: After him). Directed in 2007 by Gaël Morel, Deneuve gives a memorable performance as Camille, an attractive, but aging divorced mother whose teenage son, Mathieu, is unexpectedly killed in a car accident. As she grieves, she becomes obsessed with her son’s best friend, Franck, who survived the accident. Camille’s disturbing fixation on the young man derives, it seems, from an attempt to keep her son’s memory alive. As she increasingly asserts herself on Franck—to the disapproval of family and friends—she becomes increasingly isolated and unstable. Deneuve gives a stirring performance as the intense, unraveling Camille. French with English subtitles. (Russ K., Ref.)
