Complètement barré

Ce premier film est caustique à souhait. Une réalisation carrée, des dialogues ciselés et des acteurs irrésistibles .... j'adore même si l'ensemble est complètement barré.

Some people won't laugh, others will, I did.

I see some people were offended by some humoristic scenes. Honestly I don'tsee the big problem with those scenes. I thought they were funny and luckily we had those scenes in this movie. Actually the movie starts okay, with sometimes acting that could have been better, but it was not all that thrilling to watch, until those scenes came along and brought the comedy I was waiting for. I guess some people are easily shocked, but keep in mind this is only a movie, nobody got hurt. L'Origine Du Monde (or Dear Mother for the English title) is a funny French movie that is worth watching, that is if you're not too stuck up..

Memorable, for sure.

Insane. Some uncomfortable - very uncomfortable - moments. Also, some dull sections. But some screamingly funny moments. But, as in most good works, the desire to find out what ultimately happens keeps you watching (or reading, in the case of books). Definitely the case here (imho). The subtitle of this movie (or perhaps the original title in French?) is "The Origin of the World", a famous painting by Courbet, which pretty much describes the issue that the film is about. Not 10 stars because it's fundamentally absurd (and there were some slow moments).

Unexpected

I am french and already convinced by the selected actors of this movie. Discovering Laurent Lafitte as a movie maker and this is a success. The storie of this movie is surprising the audience until the end. Now i'm waiting for your second movie, Mr Lafitte!

Unexpected!!!

My husband and I laughed a lot watching the movie. And I recommend this movie if you like non-traditional movies. The story is surprising and unusual.

Trivia
Interviewed by Star TV, Karin Viard returned to a scene in which "the characters carry around naked but behave as if they were dressed". A scene that was clearly not easy to shoot for Karin Viard... Indeed, the actress had to work a lot on herself to get naked in front of the camera: "I am happy to have conquered my apprehension, I also have the impression, through this scene, of carrying a message: 'Look, we have the right to get naked at our age. You don't have to obey societal injunctions and wear long sleeves. Let's be free, let's assume our body'".
