Thirty years later found bitter unhappy

She is beautiful (Demi Moore). It is beautiful (David Duchovny). Their children are superb (Amber Heard and Ben Hollingsworth). They are rich and will soon become famous in this chic residential suburb where grass seem to be around and equalized with scissors every morning by Mr own in person. Welcome to the world enchanted of the Jones family. Because in the Jones, it was all good. Mr roll in the last convertible BMW, plays with miracle golf clubs. Madam has jewelry and clothing in the best taste. Children are so class implicate their buddies from high school to copy their style.

Jones, the table and the wines are of extreme sophistication. Each reception, guests are dazzled and returning them to the stars in the eyes with the impression of having crossed the evening as in a dream. They have constantly to adapt to the standing of the Jones, even to ruin. But no matter, the Jones fuelled so desires that throughout the area will get to the pitch. Now, let's eat Jones, drinking Jones, dress Jones, golfer Jones, driving Jones, to CAP, is scenting, is powder, to lather with SOAP Jones, Jones, Jones. It is a real consumerist orgy hits on this corner of quiet suburb. Leaves more addicted to the lifestyle Jones eventually exceed the financial sound and are choked by debt.

This is where history diabolically concocted by Derrick Borte - not to say no more to meet the "twist" of the plot - is going to take a darker turn, imperceptibly from the tone of comedy to tragedy. Because behind the facade ripolinée Jones House, the scullery is by no means weak. Painter, graduated in communication and media, former graphic designer for brands of surf, creative at Sony Music Studios and Director of commercials and films commercial or institutional, Derrick Borte book skids of the consumer society fierce satire. And assumes the paradox to be both gratifying and terrifying.

Presented as "The family Jones", at the last Festival of Deauville American film, "mother and child" was able to federate a jury as eclectic as that involving Jeanne Balibar, Denis Lavant, Nilda Fernandez, Tony Gatlif or Abderrahmane Sissako. And the night was well began when a hotly discussed consensus could be achieved by the President, Emmanuelle Béart. And the winner is "Mother and Child", Rodrigo Garcia, produced by the now inevitable Alejandro González Iñárritu ("21 grams", "Babel", "biutiful"). The son of Gabriel Garcia Márquez, Director of four feature films ("Nine Lives", "The passengers"...) and several episodes of "Sopranos" and "Six feet under", also chose the choral, dear Iñárritu form, to trace the fate of several women with maternity.

Karen (Annette Bening) was fourteen years old when she gave up her baby at birth. Thirty years later, found bitter, unhappy. It finally take steps to meet his daughter and to obtain forgiveness. At that time, a man enters his life which, despite a rather surly home will eventually restore hope. The daughter of Karen, Elizabeth (Naomi Watts) is an "executive woman", lawyer of talent, which is not cold in the eyes, goes the lovers not without a certain malice. It has never had the need to find his mother, to the day where she falls pregnant. Unplanned pregnancy to which it plans to terminate immediately this closely that this unexpected baby giving it kicked in the belly wakes up in her emotions that she believed buried forever. And the desire to find his mother.

Finally, Lucy (Kerry Washington), a young black bourgeois who despair of having a child, is launched in a complicated process of adoption. The paths of these three women will follow parallel paths or interbreed and are décroiser over a white thread sewn scenario. The dramatic situations are somewhat expected and the film, which does not hesitate to turn to the mélo, is saved by the talents of actors, including the second roles, always fair and compelling. Can come with their handkerchiefs.
