Good Movie: Ponette
It’s in French!
Ponette, a young girl, has recently lost her mother in an auto accident, but still sees her, sometimes.
Ponette (to the Dead Mom): Will you stay with me?
Dead Mom: No, I’m dead.
Ponette: Not anymore.
Dead Mom: I’m still a little dead.
The young actress, Victoire Thivisol, who plays Ponette, was discovered by director Jacques Doillon and cast as the title character at the age of 3 1/2. She does an astonishing job; I’m sure she has the most lines of anyone in the movie.
