Isabelle Huppert is one of the greatest and boldest actresses there is,
unafraid of any role she's given. Unfortunately that sometimes means
she's given parts that are, quite frankly, beneath her. Her role in
Christophe Honore's screen version of Georges Bataille's novel "Ma Mere"
is one of them. She plays a hedonistic woman who, after the death of
her husband, initiates her adoring young son in her lifestyle. She
attacks the part gamely enough as does a frequently nude young Louis
Garrel as the son but the film is mostly unpleasant and shallow. It's
like a porn movie with the pretensions of seriousness, as if all sex is
just a cover for something more profound rather than as an end in
itself. Ultimately it reminded of seventies Europorn and it leaves a
very sour taste in the mouth.Wednesday, 24 April 2019
