Lap Rouge
A quiet, observational portrait of two isolated brothers and their domineering mother, slow and claustrophobic, leaving a lingering sense of stagnation.
- Directed by
- Lodewijk Crijns
- Overview
- The camera pursues the life of two Dutch brothers, Herman and Egbert over the course of several months. Their mother wanted to disassociate herself from the petty bourgeois atmosphere in Holland during the fifties. In 1959 she took her two boys and left for Marnhac, a deserted village in southern France. After living in France for the the next 35 years both brothers have become almost fully alienated from society. They don't have the courage to leave their very aged and dominant mother.
