关于法国天后级歌手达琳达Dalida的传记片,这部电影讲述的就是Dalida的生活,里面有她跌宕一生的故事,也有法国60年代充满真诚的歌声。她活跃于乐坛30几年,掀起过欧洲的第一次歌迷狂潮现象,是唯一一位被戴高乐总统授予过共和国总统勋章的艺人,经历过无数成名路上的坎坷与艰辛。她以那首BAMBINO走向世人,又以那句“La vie m'est insupportable, pardonnez-moi.”离开世人。她就是出生在开罗,用法语、西班牙语、阿拉伯语、希伯来语、德语、意大利语不停歌唱的法国天后级歌手Dalida。
Facing a long winter of lockdown and combating a bad case of writer’s block, filmmaker Eric agrees to get a dog with his girlfriend Allie. A modern couple – vegan, ethical, millennial, neurotic – much research and negotiation leads to the arrival of Milly, a rescue from the Dominican Republic. This sets off a riotous chain of new challenges on how to best deal with this addition to the household. As Eric contends with a sinister dog-training programme, his introspection spills out onto his film work, with poor Allie and Milly taken along for the ride. The couple each pursue their own deepheld individual questions surrounding trust, purpose and roots, while wrestling with the idea of what it means to be a modern family. Milly, in the meantime, has a lot on her paws with these two!
Part rom-com, part rescue-dog story, part autofiction, part self-indictment, part family scrapbook, this debut feature was made with remarkable economy and displays a disquieting amount of (often hilarious) emotional authenticity. Filmmaker Ben Petrie and creative collaborator Grace Glowicki play the young couple and in doing so, capture nothing less than what it means to be human.
