Title: Happy families - Techine style
Product review: This film is located within the familar Techine territory of the dysfunctional family.Lili's (Deneuve) son is clearly disturbed by his parents' separation. In middle age, Lili has realised too late in life that she should not have followed her mother's advice and settled for a safe existence with a man who could provide a comfortable life for her. Her father exists in a world of his own. Her mother longs for her to conform.An escaped convict enters into this unhappy existence and releases long surpressed passions in Deneuve, which has major consequences for her and her son.For once, Lili is true to herself but this comes at a price. As a study in the inability to express our emotions and the obstacles we put in the path of love, this film is without equal.
