a complicated love

I just finished watching Ma Mere, which has little in common with Spanking the Monkey, but which draws inevitable comparisons because Spanking the Monkey is the movie in which the teenage son gas sex with his mother and Ma Mere is the French movie in which the teenage son has sex with his mother.

Louis Garrel, who plays the teenage son in Ma Mere (Jeremy Davies plays the teenage son in Spanking the Monkey) is one of the hottest things on the planet -- in that special French guy with dirty hair sort of way. He's like a more angular and French version of Diego de Luna.

The attraction to Garrel is complicated somewhat by the fact that I have only seen him in two movies -- this one in which he has sex with his mother -- and The Dreamers, in which he has sex with his sister.

If you have a Netflix account, you should be able to get Ma Mere via Netflix, which is how I saw it.
