In theaters this weekend, 'Petite Maman' is about a sweetly witchy house in the woods where a little girl happens upon a playmate with the same name as her mother. But it's also about grief, and, as our reviewer explains, why 'grief needs a a container.'
Céline Sciamma’s Petite Maman is about a sweetly witchy house in the woods where a little girl in mourning for her grandmother happens upon a playmate with the same name as her bereaved mother. The bereaved mother, Marion, has just exited stage left, too upset by the death of her own mother to deal with the house and its archives — the childhood notebooks, the shadow panther that hunts and haunts her bedroom at night.
ADVERTISEMENT Grief needs a container. For Nelly, it’s a house and the woods behind it. That liminal space offers Nelly a way to fully grasp her melancholy mother as her own person in a way few of us will ever manage, and to see her grandmother as a young woman, as a mother herself.
