Sorry, we can't find any suggestions at the moment.
Set in France during the struggle for Algerian independence, Messaoud's mother is terminally ill and his father, needing to work long hours in the factory, can't look after him, so decides to put him and his older brother Abdel in foster care. Sent to the countryside, Abdel has to work on a farm, but Messaoud is taken in by a childless woman, who conceals his Arab origins from her fiercely Gaullist ex-army husband. Re-named Michel/Michou, and with his hair comically dyed blond, the young boy quickly steals the hearts of both foster-parents, and eventually is instrumental in saving their troubled marriage.
Leave your thoughts about Michou d'Auber.
| european-films.netBoyd van HoeijFor viewers interested in the Franco-Algerian question but put off by Haneke's Cache or Bouchareb's Indigèenes (Days of Glory), Thomas Gilou's comparatively breezy Michou d'Auber might be the perfect antidote. |
| User ReviewJohanne GExcellent!! Impossible de ne pas aimer le petit Michou... Très touchant. |
| User ReviewJacqueline SUne histoire extraordinaire et tres touchante. |
| User ReviewMithila Minxy KA frightfully real take on Algeria after The Battle of Algiers. The issue of family and belongingness is deftly handled. Brilliant. Human. |
| User ReviewAnabelle EVery touching film. Depardieu is his usual brilliant self - thank goodness he did not make good on his threat to retire from acting. The speech he gives his foster son near the end of the film when his father comes to claim him is one of the most beautiful scenes I have ever seen in any movie, and if you have kids, you will be moved to tears by it as I was. |
| User ReviewGita Ttrop émouvant, snif, à voir en ce moment sur canal... |
| User ReviewSébastien CTres emouvant, j'ai passe un bon moment |
| User ReviewSebastian ITres bon film ! Gérard Depardieu et Nathalie Baye jouent tres bien, Samy Seghir(Michou) aussi. C'est dommage que Michou retourne a sa famille de départ.. |
| User ReviewVladimir OA brilliant and touching film. Effectively presents both a romantic drama and an examination of personal identity. |
| User ReviewEve CLe ton bon enfant et les belles motivations ainsi que l'enthousiasme de ses interprètes font rapidement pardonner les excès et le manque de réalisme par moment de cette comédie à penchant parfois dramatique voir mélodramatique d'un sujet sérieux. le tout se savoure plutôt comme une belle bouffée de fraîcheur à qui voudra bien se prêter au jeu. |
