SIFF just added the French memoir Me, Myself, and Mum to its Best of SIFF program. Guillaume Gallienne wrote, directed, and stars in the film, which looks at his relationship with his prickly/delightful mother and his own struggles with gender identity and sexual orientation. Based on his one-man show, the adult Gallienne plays himself in his memories spanning a life growing up in a conservative wealthy family, navigating boarding-school culture, and trying to figure out who he is and what he wants. I saw it with my own mother, and we both thought Me, Myself, and Mum was hilarious and wonderful.
It shows Monday, June 16, 4:30 p.m., SIFF Cinema Uptown.
