Home Sweet Home (2008)
Directed by Didier Le Pêcheur

Comedy

Film Synopsis

Albert and Gédéon make the oddest couple.  These hippie relics of May '68 have lived together since Albert's wife died, but lately a definite coolness appears to have entered into their relationship.  Claire, Albert's daughter, notices this as soon as she returns to them after a period of several years.  It seems that some long forgotten secret has suddenly come to light - thanks to a persistent cop.  As a result, the harmonious state of affairs that has existed between Albert and his friend for the past four decades appears threatened.  Is there anything Claire can do to rescue the situation...?

The very best fantasy films in French cinema
sb-img-30
Whilst the horror genre is under-represented in French cinema, there are still a fair number of weird and wonderful forays into the realms of fantasy.
The best of British film comedies
sb-img-15
British cinema excels in comedy, from the genius of Will Hay to the camp lunacy of the Carry Ons.
The best of Russian cinema
sb-img-24
There's far more to Russian movies than the monumental works of Sergei Eisenstein - the wondrous films of Andrei Tarkovsky for one.

sb-img-4
