Review Death by Death Movie Je me tue a le dire 2016

“When my mother gave me life, she also gave me death,” muses the not entirely optimistic Michel Mann (Jean-Jacques Rausin), a schlubby and scruffy delivery guy of a household electronics store who’s pushing 40. He’s sort of moved back in with his aging mother (Myriam Boyer) after she’s been told by her doctor she has breast cancer. A follow-up mammogram reveals there’s nothing there, which doesn’t convince Michel, who’s sure it must be hiding somewhere. He also starts worrying about a weird lump behind one of his own nipples, which leads to a priceless scene in a changing room that involves three other half-naked guys all checking Michel’s mammilla. They decide to ask a man whose sister has breast cancer for help and the sequence’s punchline is both hilarious and awfully dark, as is much of the humor on display here. (Image Courtesy of PSIFF)
