(Je veux rentrer à la maison) (French/English) Directed by Alain Resnais (Stavisky, Mon Oncle D'Amérique)
Cast: Laura Benson, Adolph Green, Gérard Depardieu, Linda Lavin
Plot: (summary by Geoff Andres, Time-Out Film Guide) To make a movie inspired by comic-strip art has been a long-term ambition for Resnais; sadly, fulfillment of the dream seems to have come too late. Scripted by Jules Feiffer, this is a predictable tale of a boorishly xenophobic American cartoonist (in Paris for an exhibition of his work) and his estranged daughter (an unforgiving Francophile academic), who belatedly make friends thanks to unwitting intermediary Gérard Depardieu, a Sorbonne genius with a characteristically French love of pulp art.
