Beau-père

ComedyDramaRomance123 min

After his wife is killed in a car accident, Rémi is left sharing a home with Marion, the teenage stepdaughter who refuses to move in with her birth father. Patrick Dewaere is Rémi, a drifting pianist and reluctant guardian, while Ariel Besse's Marion pushes their grief-marked household into increasingly uneasy territory as her attachment to him turns romantic. Bertrand Blier's 1981 film stays close to the pair's unstable bond, with bereavement, domestic awkwardness, and a mounting sense of transgression shaping almost every scene.
