Little Man Tate

Description

By Jodie Foster. With Jodie Foster, Dianne Wiest, Adam Hann-Byrd. A prodigy in math and music, the son of Dede Tate (Jodie Foster, herself gifted from childhood) lives with his single mother and suffers from a certain isolation from his "normal" classmates. When Jane Grierson (Dianne Wiest), psychologist and director of a school for gifted children, offers to take in the little genius, the mother accepts despite her perplexity what seems like a transfer of motherhood. But can Fred become anything other than a "case" for Jane? In her first film as a director, which was a public and critical success, "Jodie Foster as a director does not rely on Jodie Foster as an actress to convey her point of view, she equally supports each of her characters in the path she has set for them, thus broadening her horizon" (Camille Nevers, Cahiers du cinéma, 1992). USA · 1991 · 99' · original version with French/German subtitles - format: 35mm@CAP 2 – Capitole, Salle Lucienne Schnegg (CAP 2) - indicative price: 10.-
