Format:DVD
This is in my top 10 list of Favourite French comedies...If you have even the slightest twisted sense of Humour you will love this.
A lonely old lady living with/cared for by what appears to an even older Housekeeper,spend hers days being...well to put it politely "not very nice deliberately"..ends up living with Nephews family where the fun gets even better. I don't want to spoil the ending..though I thought i knew what was coming, then thought I was wrong...but an excellent twist...lets just say we don't always get what we deserve !!
Please don't let the subtitles turn you off,2 reasons 1st- the language used is at a level any O'level student or less should understand(though don't take this as the film is NOT well written, it is,the spoken words are just perfect, in creation & timing. 2nd: The well written subtitles are great leaving you more than enough time to see the all important looks on people faces, and underhand events...).
I would really recommend this is anyone above the 15+ age limit, An excellent well made Black comedy. Quote from DVD box " She's never met you and already she hates YOU"
Directed BY Etienne Chatliez- who went on to Direct "Tanguy"...another 5*

Although this film has subtitles I didn`t find this a hindrance. It is one of the funniest films I have viewed and I have viewed it three times now.
I would say it is a really black comedy but so skillfully portrayed by Tsilla Shelton.
Tatie has no time for anyone but herself and the situations in the film have you one moment shocked at her evil ways the next bursting your sides laughing.
Wonderful!! Rating TEN!!!

Format:VHS Tape
The fantastic story of a stubborn old woman, who plays havoc with her relatives' social lives, much to their dismay. They take the decision to go on holiday, but before they go they find her a live-in "babysitter", but things don't go according to plan... It made me laugh, cry and think hard about life. I loved every minute of it!

Very dull and lacks comic timing
Even if you are happy to read your films, enjoy a slow paced and intimate film style I could not recommend this film. Read more

Sinister
This film made me feel very uncomfortable. Here is an elderly lady who is seriously dysfunctional. And throughout the film, she does not improve. Read more

I just love this classic! Very French humour of the 90s....If you like it also get La vie est un long fleuve tranquille.

More sinister than comedy
It makes clear on the cover this is a black comedy about a very unpleasant old woman. I actually found the first half of the film more disturbing than funny. Read more

French comedy
A good, slightly black, comedy. Perhaps not to everyones taste but I liked it and will certainly watch it again

Tatie Danielle
This is one of the funniest French films I have ever seen. It has been loved by many of my students and remains a popular choice of film at the end of term. Read more

TATIE DANIELLE
I had already seen this film when it came out and thoroughly enjoyed it. The crafty, avaricious, old bag who didn't miss a trick. Read more

Wickedly funny
I'd never watched a French film before, so I didn't know what to expect. This film was great though, and devilishly funny. Read more

A role model for an aging population
Good old Tatie Danielle. She's nasty, determined and mean.
A great character at the centre of this harmless, charming film.
