My son press book - Celluloid Dreams
Celluloid Dreams presents My son by Martial Fougeron Synopsis Julien is an adorable boy on the cusp of adolescence, but he is also a prisoner of love. His mother, neglected by her academic husband, adores him excessively and controls his every move, often through cruel psychological bullying. Miserable, he tries to break free, finding and then losing a girlfriend, turning to his grandmother and sister, calling the police, threatening suicide to the authorities. But ultimately, he is complicit. After all, how can he leave his mother’s love ? Director’s statement The movie “I LOVE YOU SO”, is not based on a true story, rather it is my personal take on a fictional motherson relationship. Although the mother is completely authoritarian, Nathalie Baye also brings a tenderness to the role and this makes the situation even more terrifying. Opposite the mother, the son should seem frail and vulnerable. He is still just on the verge of adolescence. In order to highlight the magnitude of this relationship, I have taken a very sober approach to the acting and the framing. At the same time I have tried to keep the lighting soft and clear to counterbalance the darkness of the subject. The story is violent thoughout, but the violence never explodes to the surface.
