L'arrache-coeur -- Description du film [en anglais] :
« Céline [...] is a struggling writer who lives with her husband, an equally struggling independent avant-garde film-maker, and her four-year-old son, Samuel. However, the crucial relationship in her life is with her mother [...] and the film proceeds to analyse the daughter's classic struggle to achieve a satisfactory balance between intimacy or complicity with, and differentiation from, the mother. »
