The second part of Yves Robert's filming of Marcel Pagnol's childhood memoirs completes the narrative so casually begun in My Father's Glory--and fulfills a radiant journey we hadn't even realized we'd embarked on. Marcel is approaching his teens and acquiring a more coherent sense of the world. Accordingly, My Mother's Castle boasts a more concentrated style and unspools its story over (mostly) the space of one year, as opposed to a dozen. Whereas in the first film Robert had worked entirely with little-known players who simply became Marcel's family, here he calls upon screen veterans Jean Rochefort, Jean Carmet, and Georges Wilson to flesh out sharply ironical figures who loom challengingly on the young man's horizon. Consistent with Pagnol's emphasis on Provençal locations, the focal event of the film becomes the weekly walk the Marseilles-based family makes from the trolley station to their remote country cottage--a quintessentially mundane ritual that comes to be fraught with wonder, delight, and terror. It all leads to a payoff that opens the meaning of the title only as the film is reaching its transcendent conclusion. --Richard T. Jameson

Amongst all the "bleak"," hard-hitting", "unflinchingly honest" "unrelenting realism" with which we are confronted in the name of so much art-house cinema, this film (together with its predecessor My Father's Glory) offers something precious, something we lose in transit to adulthood. For in each one of us the secret garden, the summer holiday, the opening of presents, the kitchen of warm community longs to be found again. Its there, but we in jaded sophistication and disillusion have lost the ... Read More

The first best movie ever made is the one preceding this, "My Father's Glory" (La Gloire de Mon Pere) by the same production company a few years earlier. "Le Chateau de Ma Mere" is the sequel. This one has the same superb production values, the same actors, etc. It stands alone as a wonderful story of growing up in Southern France 100 years ago. However, seen AFTER the first one, it is even better. We care deeply about these people,and having met them before, the true-life events that befall ... Read More

Set in belle Provence at the turn of the century, this lovely film shows a year in the life of a young boy, his schoolteacher father, younger brother, baby sister and precious mother. The story is simple and charming, the actors are natural and engaging and the scenery is to-die-for. The French have a way of showing the incredible beauty of daily life that makes you want to get your passport renewed and start packing.
See you there!

I first saw this sequel many years ago in French class and it was probably one of the most beautiful pieces of poetry set to film that I had ever seen. For those of you unfamiliar with the first in this two part film series, I really reccomend that you watch LA GLOIRE DE MON PERE (MY FATHER'S GLORY) before seeing LE CHATEAU DE MA MERE (MY MOTHER'S CASTLE). This second part is based on the teen years of writer Marcel Pagnol and some of the most profound memories he had from that time of his life. ... Read More

This was the follow-up to "My Father's Glory." That film probably better known but I much prefer this second film. To me, this one is far more appealing.
The scenery, the color, the sweet, beautiful face of Nathalie Roussel and the gentle tone of the film all make it a winner. The French countryside pictured here is beautiful as we watch a family make trips through various gates en route to their destination. Some of it actually gets suspenseful. It's a very simple story but nicely. The ... Read More
