The award-winning actor-writer-director Guillaume Gallienne is a member of the Comédie-Française and a rising star in France. Me, Myself and Mum is a clever adaptation of his hit one-man stage show into a flamboyant, confessional and
hilarious film about sexual anguish.
Guillaume Gallienne plays himself from a child to a teenager to a young man as he charts his awkward life with a domineering mother who raised him to be gay before he had a chance to define his own sexuality. Gallienne also plays his own mother, creating sensational two-handed scenes by himself.
Guillaume Gallienne’s life is presented in a series of fast-paced and funny vignettes that detail the most embarrassing moments of his life, with a great supporting cast and a script full of clever misdirection.
Ultimately this is a moving story of a man taking ownership of his complicated life in a totally original and theatrical way. Me, Myself and Mum earned rapturous applause when it premiered in Cannes in 2013, and it is sure to have audiences cheering here too.
ME MYSELF AND MUM was a box office smash in France and won 5 Cesar Awards including best film, best adapted screenplay, best editing and best first film, and Gallienne took the best actor prize for his performance in multiple roles.
