“Ulysse” by Lætitia Masson: the moving odyssey of a disabled child and his mother

Ulysses ⭐⭐⭐

by Milky Mason | French Film | 1 h 37

“Will I become the hero of my own life, or will that place be taken by someone else? » This incipit from David Copperfield, the novel by Charles Dickens, opens the film by Lætitia Masson. This questioning will take on more and more meaning as the story progresses. At the start, it’s time for unadulterated happiness. Alice (Élodie Bouchez), a sociology researcher, discovers that she is pregnant. With her pianist companion, Luc (Stanislas Merhar), she immediately launches into the joyful quest for the ideal first name. Unanimity is established around Ulysses.
