Black and French comedy in “Paulette”

By GTVW

During 87 minutes, Paulette discovers a surprising way to supplement her meager pension  an unlikely but successful career selling cannabis. With a talented cast such as Bernadette Lafont, Carmen Maura, Dominique Lavanant and Françoise Bertin, this film will make you laugh with dark and creative humor but full of contrasts as lack of opportunities for retired, hopeless for elderly. However Paulette makes special babysitting arrangements, and grudgingly watches her grandson. Her hostility toward him for his skin color and misconceptions about black French citizens makes this film very realistic, with great visual jokes and dense humor.  Definitely, director Jerome Enrico created a pure Granny Junkie.
