The Man Who Wanted a Child L'homme qui rêvait d'un enfant
|
|
Three brilliant actors turn a bizarre paradox into a delightful, absurd and poetic film. The eccentric Alfred (Artus de Penguern) has never been very good with women. He therefore gives up his dream of having his own children and seeks permission to adopt. But instead of a child, he is given an old man (Darry Cowl) to take home with him. The film contains some of the low-key charm of Amélie and a generous portion of surreal humour. Alfred’s mother is played by Esther Gorintin (Since Otar Left), with an incomparable glint of mischief in her eyes, which don’t give away that she has already turned 94. The French comic actor and crooner Darry Cowl, who passed away last year at the age of 80, sadly did not make it to such a venerable age. However, the film is a worthy farewell, with Cowl playing an almost mute part, which becomes a moving tribute to a row of film stars from the silent era.
