Joignez-vous à nous un dimanche par mois pour des films documentaires en français !
J'ai placé ma mère (2022)
1 h 15 minutes. Gracieuseté de Kanopy.
À la manière d’un journal filmé, ce film documentaire nous plonge dans l’expérience personnelle du cinéaste et de sa sœur qui veulent s’assurer que leur mère termine dignement ses jours dans le système des CHSLD (centres d’hébergement et de soins de longue durée). Dans les dédales de cette épreuve rocambolesque, Denys Desjardins pose un regard caméra d’une grande tendresse sur sa mère. Avec respect et amour, il dévoile l’humour insoupçonné de cette femme attachante.
