BEAU PERE(1983)
This is a French movie, with English subtitles!!
It is actually a very sad/sweet movie about a
piano player who plays in nightclubs for a pittance
and is married to a woman who doesn't seem to
like him anymore because he's always broke!
He comes home one day, they have an argument,
she leaves, has an accident, and suddenly he's
a man alone save his step daughter! They get
VERY close, and he ends up having to figure
out what to do with the rest of his life!! Some
nudity, but it all works as part of the story!! A
A review from IMDb.com:
I was 14 years old and traveling to Florida and
we spent the night in a hotel. I was up late watching
HBO when this movie came on. As I sat and watched
it I was mesmerized by Patrick Deweare! The movie
and his performance touched something very deep
in me, I became an instant fan of his and the memory
of that movie stayed with me for years. I purchased
the movie as an adult. I think it was the deep sadness
that emanated from him, just the sad looks he would
convey without actually speaking. I love this movie
as much today as I did at 14, which at that time I
did not know that he had just died. With the advent
of the Internet I was able to find out much more
about this man who's performance haunted me
and learned where that sadness came from. - gilgirl3318
