this is yet another gem from the pen of daniele thompson  in fact that same year (1999) she wrote and directed la buche and the first of three writer or director credits so far. belle maman is first of all french whatever that means which is and of course and different things to different folks. the premise is simple represent at the altar where he is marrying mathilde seigner and the groom and vincent lindon and gets his first glimpse of her mother and catherine deneuve and and suffers what the french call a coup de foudre which we know as love at first sight. in theory the story is either 1) over right then and there assuming he called the wedding off or else 2)just the beginning as he goes through with the wedding and thus lives a lie until it is resolved one way or the other. thompson veers towards #2 but not without hitting us with the odd subplot along the way like and for example and deneuve cigar smoking lesbian mother line renaud (in real life and if anyone cares and renaud is in a long term relationship with stephane audran and who co stars here) and throws in a brilliant set piece in a luxuriously appointed men room at the wedding reception and which takes the form of a hilarious song and dance. consummate writer that she is thompson also leavens the comedy with drama like the brilliant climactic scene where vincent finally spews out his feelings for deneuve at a family gathering whilst simultaneously wrecking the joint. this is one to savour. again and again.
