Like Vanya, in Malle's last film, Milou never left the family estate. His mother dies during the May 1968 student uprising in Paris. The brother who is the London correspondent for Le Monde keeps turning up the volume of the radio for the latest news. A deceased sister's interest in the estate is represented by a niece who is an antique dealer, who is most interested in grandmother's emerald ring that Milou's daughter Camille has already slipped on her finger. A non-relative, a truck driver who can't deliver his load of tomatoes in Paris, brings a nephew who was part of the uprising. Everyone is on strike and the matriarch can't be buried.

| EmanuelLevy.ComEmanuel LevyThough well acted by great French actors (Michel Piccoli), Malle's tale, set in 1968 in the countryside, is too light and trivial as family melodrama |
| Spirituality and PracticeFrederic and Mary Ann BrussatRevolves around the response of a large family to the death of the matriarch. |
| User ReviewAIMZ TI just love this film. Louis Malle and his cast really create the most memorable Weekend in the Country since Bergman. |
| User ReviewThomas POpulentes Abschiedsgeschenk eines Meisters des Films Die Kombination der lebensnahen und auch in rechtlicher Hinsicht in sämtlichen Details korrekten Beschreibung eines Erbschaftfalles mit einfühlend-psychologischer Aufarbeitung all der damit verbundenen familiären und sonstigen Folgen bei den Betroffenen und verdeckt-zarten religiösen Andeutungen ist das Resumée eines langen Lebens für den Film, uns mit Augenzwinkern geschenkt kurz vor dem eigenen Abgang des Strippenziehers. Der lebenskluge Input nicht nur für das Juristische erfolgte anscheinend durch den liebenden, nicht in der Filmwelt stehenden Freund des Regisseurs, über die Zeit der 68er habe ich selten so herzlich gelacht werden wie hier. Die Schauspieler und Schauspielerinnen geben in bester Spiellaune all ihre Kunst und mehr, um das opulente Abschiedsfest des Regisseurs aus diesem Leben in jenes Licht zu tauchen, das allem Untergehenden nicht nur im Südwesten Frankreichs eigen ist. Last but not least: Meister Stéphane Grappelli führt uns mit seiner Geige mit schlafwandlerischer Sicherheit durch den Film, träumend von Django Reinhardt. Kurz: Ein Film für die Ewigkeit. |
| User ReviewNikolas GWONDERFULLY ENJOYABLE LITTLE FRENCH MOVIE. BIT INCESTUOUS I THINK |
| User ReviewRebecca RLove the opening shots - wonderful misdirections that sets the tone of the film. It's funny, albeit rather insensitive to women and lesbians. Still, it's a French film that entertains but unsettles you just enough to make you think too. |
| User ReviewAdam SLouis Malle and Jean-Claude Carriere's entry in the tried and true Country Mansion genre, with the always welcome Michel Piccoli overseeing the gathering of his extended family for his mother's funeral. Funny and moving, with a bit of politics (sexual and otherwise), and Bunuelian surrealism (courtesy of Carriere, a Bunuel collaborator), with a wonderfully eccentric and gifted cast. |
| User ReviewMarc LNicel little comedy set in the days of the student strike in May 1968. Kind of drags at time but saved by an always outstanding Michel Piccoli. |
| User ReviewAljane CSubtle humour interspersed within this French drama set against the backdrop of the May '68 riots...... French through & through.... |
| User ReviewShakti SI didn't get this movie. I think it wants to criticise something. |
