L'Origine du Monde

My husband and I laughed a lot watching the movie. And I recommend this movie if you like non-traditional movies. The story is surprising and unusual.

Insane. Some uncomfortable - very uncomfortable - moments. Also, some dull sections. But some screamingly funny moments. But, as in most good works, the desire to find out what ultimately happens keeps you watching (or reading, in the case of books). Definitely the case here (imho). The subtitle of this movie (or perhaps the original title in French?) is "The Origin of the World", a famous painting by Courbet, which pretty much describes the issue that the film is about. Not 10 stars because it's fundamentally absurd (and there were some slow moments).

Tired of comedies with similar storyline ?

Well, you will be in for a refreshing treat with this French comedy!

Careful, though, as it is VERY different !!!

Great casting.

I am french and already convinced by the selected actors of this movie. Discovering Laurent Lafitte as a movie maker and this is a success. The storie of this movie is surprising the audience until the end. Now i'm waiting for your second movie, Mr Lafitte!

I see some people were offended by some humoristic scenes. Honestly I don'tsee the big problem with those scenes. I thought they were funny and luckily we had those scenes in this movie. Actually the movie starts okay, with sometimes acting that could have been better, but it was not all that thrilling to watch, until those scenes came along and brought the comedy I was waiting for. I guess some people are easily shocked, but keep in mind this is only a movie, nobody got hurt. L'Origine Du Monde (or Dear Mother for the English title) is a funny French movie that is worth watching, that is if you're not too stuck up..
