“Claude Berri could be counted on to turn out solid entertainment. Tchao Pantin was a great vehicle for Coluche, Manon des Sources was terrific for Daniel Auteuilu0026#39;s and Emmanuelle Beartu0026#39;s careers, as well as providing a fine part for the aging Yves Montand. Un Moment has the same formula: a good script plus the visual appeal of the Riviera provide enjoyment.u003cbr/u003eu003cbr/u003eMarielle, tall and graceful, and Lanoux, shorter and bull-like (remember him as the lover in Cousin, Cousine) play well off each other. Agnes Soral, with her hawk nose and easy wit, does a fine job as Marielleu0026#39;s lover. Christine Dejoux, playing Marielleu0026#39;s very discontented daughter is even more darkly unhappy than Demi Moore was in the remake.u003cbr/u003eu003cbr/u003eIf I were doing this story, Iu0026#39;d have a cast switch: Michelle Pfeiffer and Lorraine Bracco as the parents, Hayden Christenson and Emile Hirsch as the kids. I sometimes feel we need to challenge the patriarchal culture of Hollywood, make it possible for two middle-aged women to have as much fun as men.”
