In 1999 , Hudson directed '' My Life So Far '' . Jean-Claude Carrière wrote of it , " Hugh Hudson 's film '' My Life So Far '' is a delightful bittersweet film , which covers the start of a boy 's life during the first part of the 20th century – from his last baby 's bottle to his first cigar . A film which sadly is not known as well as it should be . It is a variation on a universal theme which will never end . There will always be men and women , old people and youngsters , horses and dogs . " Hudson next directed '' I Dreamed of Africa '' ( 2000 ) , which was the closing film of the Cannes Film Festival of that year
