Mrs.Gallienne is a middle class woman and has a unequal temper. She has 3 child, one of them she calls Guillaume. When that child is at the age of puberty, he can’t imagine himself as a boy or a girl or a homosexual. After painful experiments, Guillaume will discover himself and advoid negative effects.
Funny, thoughtful and bubbling over with feeling, the feature shines brightest and rings truest when its driving force is at his best -- which, thankfully, is most of its brief running time.
Based on Gallienne's one-man theatre show, the film camps its way through flamenco-style dancing, a German spa, sexual near-misses and an English boarding school.
Moving seamlessly between stage and screen enactments, Guillaume, who plays both himself and his neurotic, chain-smoking mum, concocts plenty of blackly comic moments.
Quirky, yes, but perhaps not as commercially approachable as it was in France, where screen culture is more adventurous and experimentation is welcomed
