CGiii Comment
Without a shadow of a doubt, one of the best 'gay' comedies ever made.
Technically, it's faultless - special mention should be given to the editor - for this is, indeed, a masterclass in editing.
The soundtrack...inspired.
Star, writer, director - Guillaume Gallienne - achieves the near-impossible, a film with pace, with humour and a thrilling imagination...
The ending: jaw-droppingly brilliant.
Trailer...
The(ir) Blurb...
Mrs. Gallienne, a rather temperamental upper middle-class lady, has three children, two of whom she considers as her sons and another she calls Guillaume. Logically indeed, the latter teenage creature does not picture himself as a boy, rather as a girl or at best as a homosexual. But how can a mother act in such an objectionable way? And why? Through a series of painful chain of experiences, Guillaume will discover little by little who he is actually and will manage to break free from her pernicious influence.
