Movie Reviews of La Buche
Movie Review: La B?che: Finding Holiday Cheer in Family Dysfunction.
Summary: 4 Stars
La B?che (Season's Beatings) is a charming 1999 French comedy by director and screenwriter Dani?le Thompson. Thompson is known for her films, Cousin, cousine, Jet Lag, and Avenue Montaigne. Her directorial debut, La B?che stars Sabine Az?ma, Emmanuelle B?art, and Charlotte Gainsbourg, who play three grown daughters who conspire to reunite their divorced parents, who haven't spoken to each other for fifteen years. Set over four eventful days before Christmas, the film is a witty mix of holiday nostalgia and family dysfunction. The eldest daughter, Louba (Az?ma) lives with their father Stanislas (Claude Rich), sings bohemian songs at a Russian restaurant, and is having an affair with a married man, Gilbert (Jean-Pierre Darroussin). She unexpectedly discovers she is pregnant at age 42. Sonia (B?art) is financially successful, bourgeois, tightly-wound woman in the midst of a divorce. Milla (Gainsbourg), the youngest, is acerbic and lonesome. They associate Christmas with their parents' divorce. The film features a musical score by Michel Legrand, and earned Charlotte Gainsbourg a C?sar Award for Best Actress in a Supporting Role.
