Runtime: 55
This man is Xavier, the director's father. She films the man who, after having had three children with his wife, Dominique, leaves her for a man, François, whom he then leaves for a (much) younger man, Guillaume. In reality, the final combination is not so simple because this man leaves no one and no one leaves him either. This is the story of a family break-up that did not happen, that has been commuted into cohabitations that sometimes defy common sense, sometimes the imagination. The story of a contemporary family: when bonds that were at first unimaginable gradually become inseparable.
Most data and links to images for the Movies section come from TheMovieDB (TMDB).
Additional data for Film Titles come from The Open Movie Database (OMDb).
At least one plug-in comes from IMDb.
Data are -- hey, it's a plural -- subject to the limitations of their sources. (For example, TMDB search results currently max out at 20.) I am limiting myself to free data sources for now. (No, a "free trial" is not free.)
While much of the above data are retrieved directly from outside APIs and other such sources, data from American Film Institute (AFI) and British Film Institute (BFI) were manually entered the old fashioned way into a MySQL database. Re BFI I took the following liberties:
Regarding profile removals and data corrections:
Filtering is applied here to film projects flagged as "adult" by TheMovieDB. Pending "popular demand" I am contemplating a login and profile system with preferences (such as whether to allow adult images to appear) and permissions (such as data entry).
Whereas the overall purpose of this website is to serve as a personal demo/portfolio/workshop of web and data skills, this Movies section is not meant to compete with or substitute for far more definitive movie websites.
