It takes a while for this film to pull you in. After all, it’s really just a series of home movies made by director Michael Gondry (The Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind) about an aunt who was a teacher in some remote French villages. There’s an intricate spell being woven with the films, though, and it isn’t too long before you are totally captivated with the story and with Gondry’s extended family. You start to care about them so much, in fact, that you start to regret the director’s use of animated scenes and other distractions. All you want on the screen is the aunt telling another one of her stories.
