The FiFi Report 097

Me and My Sister ….directed by Alexandra Leclère …French with English subtitles
The Plot: wealthy, chic, but outrageously grumpy, old housewife married to boring man ( sister #1) is visited by her gauche, outgoing, daggy sister from the provinces ( sister #2) .
Who: Isabelle Huppert and Catherine Frot
Acting: tres drole
Interiors: Tres BCBG, Sister #1 and her bourgeois apartment is very chic.
Designer inspiration/wardrobe: Sister #1 wears Chanel and carries an Hermes bag, and only wears black. Country sister #2 wears the same old white mac and a big, long crochet scarf all the way through the film.
Blood’n’ guts: only of the verbal kind, sister #1 is so bitchy she takes your breath away.
Car chases: Mais non!
Smooches: Mais oui! It’s a French film so the husband has a mistress (bien sur)
Botox: Sister #1 should drink it.
Snooze alert: ooh la la. This film does become a petit peu tiresome
Waterproof mascara? It’s not really funny and it’s not really sad but who goes out without mascara?
Tom Cruise sighting? Paris was the place where Tom proposed to Katie.
When Harry met Sally romance Richter scale: Paris itself gets 9 out 10. Plot: 2 out of 10
Rename it: The original title was Les Soeurs Fachees – The angry sisters
See it or donate to the Prada bag/save Katie fund? If this film were made in Hollywood it would be boring. Sister #1 and her obvious bitterness are about as subtle as a Prada copy on Ebay. Unsophisticated sister #2 is only slightly more amusing. Get it on DVD and go to Paris for your Prada.
