La Petite Lili 2003

La Petite Lili (2003)     Mado is a successful actress spending the summer at her country home with her boyfriend, Brice.  He is a noted filmmaker and he directed her latest picture. Her son Julien is staying with them, he is an experimental filmmaker with a combustible personalty.  Lili is a young woman whose family lives nearby, she comes over a lot when her mother is away.  A lot of other people are in and out, Jeanne-Marie, the daughter of Mado's caretaker lives there too.  Mado doesn't have any kind words after a screening of Julien's latest film starring Lili. Jeanne-Marie defends him but he's interested in Lili.  Lili is interested in Brice even though he is much older.
     It seems like everyone in this film wants to be with someone other than the person they are with?  A lot of yelling and exploding emotions.  Everything takes a different direction after Lili leaves with Brice.  Difficult to keep the focus required because of the subtitles.  You just want them all to be quiet!!  3* (This movie is OK)
