The title in French is Betty Fisher et autres histoires. Betty Fisher’s mother
Margot comes to stay with Betty in Paris.
Margot is having some medical tests that she can’t receive where she
lives. Betty is an author, she is divorced and she
has a young son Joseph. Betty puts
Joseph in his room to take a nap and she talks to her mother. Margot isn’t feeling well and she goes
outside into the backyard for some fresh air. She
sees that Joseph has fallen out of his bedroom window. He was interested in a bird he saw
outside and he opened the window.
They immediately go to the hospital but Joseph dies from a brain
hemorrhage. Betty goes into a dark
depression but her mother has a solution. She kidnaps Jose, another child about the same age as
Joseph. Margot tells Betty that
the child belongs to her friends and they have gone on vacation but their
sitter fell through.
I didn’t know how
this movie was going to turn out??
Betty seems like she doesn’t want to accept Jose. If she tries to
take him back to his mother, Betty will probably be accused of the kidnapping? Since she is ill, it will also be difficult for Margot if she is arrested for the kidnapping? There is a lot of information in the
newspapers and on the news about the kidnapping. Jose’s mother seems more interested in being on television
than in the loss of her son? Realistically, how did Margot even come up this solution? 3 ½* (I
liked this movie)
