Tu seras mon fils (2011)

Tu seras mon fils: Directed by Gilles Legrand. With Niels Arestrup, Lorànt Deutsch, Patrick Chesnais, Anne Marivin. Paul has no faith in his son, Martin, to inherit his prestigious family wine estate. Paul dreams of a harder-working, successful son – a dream that one day seemingly materializes when he meets Philippe, the son of his dying estate manager.

“Gilles Legrand delivers with Tu Seras Mon Fils a poignant drama carried an excellent duo of actors whose performances are oozing accuracy, the always masterful Niels Arestrup, frightening as an authoritarian and despising patriarch, and Lorànt Deutsch, touching as a constantly demeaned son.u003cbr/u003eu003cbr/u003eThe viewer ends up completely carried away by this polished familial tragedy where the implacable unfolding of the plot and the striking dialogues totally captivate from end to end. However, certain motivations are a bit hard to assimilate and the purpose of the opening scene is questionable because it incomprehensibly reveals the twist of the movie, which by the way could be regarded as a bit sloppy.u003cbr/u003eu003cbr/u003eAll in all, Tu Seras Mon Fils overall is solid and deserves more consideration than the press critics tried to convince us.”
