Va voir maman, papa travaille
1978 Romantic Comedy / Drama
Review
Marlène Jobert and Philippe Léotard make an enchanting couple in this low-key,
bittersweet romantic comedy. They give us a convincing portrayal of a fragile mid-life
romance, assisted by a sensitive and well-observed script by Danièle Thompson.
This enjoyable film is competently directed by François Leterrier, the principal
actor of Robert Bresson’s Un
condamné à mort s’est échappé (1956).
