Neuilly Yo Mama!
Neuilly sa mère
Director: Gabriel Julien-Laferrière
Actors: Rachida Brakni / Denis Podalydès / Samy Seghir / Valérie Lemercier / Josiane Balasko
Gabriel Julien-Laferrière's debut feature is a bittersweet coming-of-age
comedy about a teen from a working-class housing estate who moves in
among the foie gras-eating set in the ultra-bourgeois Neuilly-sur-Seine.
14-year-old Sami lives happily with his buddies in the Châlon projects.
Unfortunately, destiny tears him one day from his paradise, and he's
sent to live at his aunt and uncle's chic mansion. Suddenly, he has to
dress up for school. He has to sit up at the table for supper. He has
to watch his Ps and Qs. And worst, he's forced to face up to his overprivileged
and extremely overzealous teenage cousin, Charles, whose
one ambition is to grow up to be the next Nicolas Sarkozy! At least the
area boasts a better class of eye-candy...
Julien-Laferrière sustains the laughs and peppers the proceedings with
cameos by several Gallic comics. By turns cute, cruel and very funny,
NEUILLY YO MAMA! was the unexpected box-office-champion of the
French summer.
