Danielle (Tsilla Chelton) is an embittered elderly widow who literally nags and works her equally elderly companion-cum-housekeeper Odile (Neige Dolsky) to death. Danielle finds new targets for her extremely selfish, hurtful and resolutely anti-social behaviour when arrangements are made for her to move in with her great nephew Jean-Pierre (Eric Prat) and his family. When the family take a well earned holiday abroad, a live-in carer called Sandrine (Isabelle Nanty) is employed to look after Danielle.

However, the two malcontents soon fall out and a furious Danielle effects an extremely petulant act of revenge.Read More »

This is one of the cult Serbian movies. Despite some people having emotional outbursts of hatred towards everything about this movie,it’s a great movie. Srdjan Todorovic,as a drummer for Ekatarina Velika (the best Serbian rock band of all time),and an actor in many movies and TV shows has shown that he is extremely talented,contrary to some statements. Uros Djuric has actually done pretty well,considered that he’s a painter,not an actor,so a mix of talents did pretty well. Nikola Kojo,one of the best Serbian actors,was simply brilliant in this movie.His non-emotion standing in this movie gave it the flavour it needed to rise as one of the best Serbian movies ever. A great movie,and a cool comedy! As I said,a cult movie of a generation!Read More »
