Look At Me (Comme Une Image)
2004, 110 minutes, Rated PG
A reflection both on the corrupting power of fame and the disappointment of family life, this effortlessly entertaining film from the makers of the acclaimed Le Gout des Autres (The Taste of Others) picked up the Best Screenplay Award at Cannes 2004. Look At Me establishes Agnes Jaoui as one fo the major creative forces in contemporary French cinema after just two films as a writer-director.
Etienne (Jean-Pierre Bacri) is a famous novelist who is unconcerned by the unhapiness of his daughter Lolita, an overweight, sulky and insecure but gifted aspiring soprano. Lolita would love her father to look at her but unfortunately he is blinded by visions of himself. Lolita's apparent docility conceals a deep undercurrent of loathing, both for herself and for a world which she feels judges her solely on her appearance and, to add insult to injury, it seems that every person she meets wants to know her solely as means of getting to her famous father.
