DVD Beau Pere (1981) Patrick Dewaere, Ariel Besse, Maurice Ronet, Nicole Garcia

Description: 1981 drama Beau Pere also known as Beau-père starring Patrick Dewaere, Ariel Besse, Nicole Garcia, Maurice Ronet; written and directed by Bertrand Blier. The Story: When a woman is killed in a car wreck, she leaves behind a husband and a daughter (from a previous marriage). The daughter becomes the center of gravity of the film. As the step-father and daughter share their grief under the same roof, the girl reveals an uncommon maturity. She insinuates herself into the step-father's life by taking on her mother's responsibilities and demanding an adult place in his life. What follows is an unemotional, matter of fact, tastefully presented tale of two people whose familial love morphs into something more. Comments: Boasting a superb lead performance by Patrick DeWaere as a young Frenchman battling to stifle the seductive advances of his beautiful step-daughter, the story unfolds by the use of fascinating character detail and an intelligent, focused script - a thoughtful study in the complexities of love and desire. Ariel Besse is perfectly cast as the step-daughter - bubbling, curious and full of mischief. Celebrated cinematographer Sacha Vierny's moody photography is a pleasure to watch and Oscar nominated Philip Sarde's score is 'music to the ears!' Beau Pere was an official selection and Palme d'Or nominee at the Cannes Film Festival. Per the label, the film has 120 minute running time; French audio with English subtitles; presented in widescreen letter-boxed 2.35:1 format.
