"Catch Me A Memory" ~ A Childhood Discourse On Death, The Afterlife And The Benefits Of Magic Smarties
|
Note: French with English subtitles.
Synopsis: Little Ponette (Victoire Thivisol) has recently lost her Mother in a car accident. While her Father is loving and sympathetic towards his daughter, he offers little solace or hope to help her come to grips with her immense loss. After the funeral Ponette is left at boarding school where she attempts to deal with her loneliness with other children her own age who soon begin to offer advise on how Ponette may be able to remain in contact with her dead Mother. Death, dreams, Heaven, Jesus, the All-Mighty are all discussed by this group of bright, young minds who try and help her make sense of it all. Even the use and benefit of magic Smarties is considered as a possible avenue to the realm of the dead. Through all the grief and sorrow Ponette eventually discovers the subtle truth about such adults concerns and finds the courage to move on and accept things for what they are. After all, "Happy spirits like your Mommy never die."
Critique: Ponette' is a thoroughly captivating French movie from '97 starring Victoire Thivisol, the most charming little four year old ever to appear on film. It's really quite disarming to witness such emotional angst portrayed so perfectly by a little child and it's all captured so intimately by the camera one almost feels as though you could reach out and comfort her. This film belongs in a category all its own, absolutely marvelous. Remember to keep a box of Kleenex close at hand when viewing. |
