JE ME TUE À LE DIRE

A phobic, obsessive hypochondriac has to take care of his dying mother. So sad, but so funny. Welcome to Belgium.

DIRECTOR XAVIER SERON WILL BE PRESENT

“Hilarious, gorgeous and touching.” The Hollywood Reporter

When his mother (the magnificent Myriam Boyer, also seen this year in Le vieux Pays où Rimbaud est mort) learns she has cancer, Michel Peneud goes into a panic. That’s no surprise, because Michel, who has plenty of hair on his chest and neuroses all over, knows he’s going to die. And now he thinks he has breast cancer! This is a comedy about love that talks about death. It’s an absurdist drama that finds beauty – and gags – everywhere, in life’s little details that nobody ever notices. (Julien Fonfrède)
