France released, PAL/Region 2 DVD: LANGUAGES: French ( Dolby Digital 2.0 ), French ( Dolby Digital 5.1 ), English ( Subtitles ), French ( Subtitles ), WIDESCREEN (1.85:1), SPECIAL FEATURES: Commentary, Deleted Scenes, Featurette, Interactive Menu, Making Of, Music Video, Photo Gallery, Scene Access, Short Film, Trailer(s), SYNOPSIS: First-time director Carine Tardieu's gentle and evocative coming-of-ager La Tête de Maman concerns Lulu (Chloë Couloud), an adolescent girl whose mother (Karin Viard) sits perpetually on the brink of illness and radiates unhappiness; she is resolutely unhappy with her husband, unhappy with the present state of her life. Concerned about her mom's emotional condition, Lulu discovers an old photograph that suggests the source of her dissatisfaction: a love affair gone sour with a young man who abandoned her, several years before Lulu's birth. To win back her mother's "smile," Lulu sets out to locate her mom's old boyfriend - now a middle-aged veterinarian - and bring him back to her mother's side. She also discovers, over the course of this mission, that her mom is now suffering from a terminal illness and sits at death's door. The character of Lulu narrates throughout, and periodically defers, in the midst of dilemmas, to her heroine, the model-turned-actress Jane Birkin (who appears from time to time, playing herself). ...In Mom's Head ( La Tête de maman )

Beautiful story; wonderful presentation and performances, 11 Jan 2009
By John Steven - Published on Amazon.com
.
Get over any reluctance you might have to deal with subtitles, and give yourself the opportunity to enjoy an excellent film. I am tired of being taken in by reviewers'/promoters' bumpf, and I've found myself recently about ready to give up on film as having anything new to show me. But -- this film is one of those rare, genuine, moving, delightful presentations of humanity that shows the high potential of this medium. My hope and enthusiasm for film is renewed, thanks to writer/director Carine Tardieu. Stay with with the story past the dreariness of the first scenes - they are necessary to establish the ground for what develops. My warmest regards to Ms. Tardieu. I am newly come to her work; I am looking for more.
