LAP ROUGE
by Lodewijk Crijns
Country: Netherlands
Year: 1996
Duration: 43'
During a number of months the camera pursues the life of two Dutch brothers, Herman and Egbert. Their mother wanted to dissociate 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 next 35 years both brothers have become almost fully alienated from society. They don't have the courage to leave their aged and dominant mother. In addition, Julie, a young French girl helping their household, causes tensions between the two brothers.
