The Best of COLCOA on VOD - Round 2
We continue our collection of French films exclusively available on digital through Under the Milky Way, with a pair of titles that premiered at The French film festival in Los Angeles, COLCOA, in 2013. What’s In a Name? (Le Prénom) was a huge hit in France prior to its US release, when it was chosen as the New York Times ‘Pick of the Week’. The Dandelions (Du vent dans mes mollets) was a less high profile affair, but we believe it is equally deserving of attention.
Vincent (Patrick Bruel), a successful forty-something, is about to become a father for the first time. He is invited to dinner at the charming apartment of his sister, Elisabeth (Valérie Benguigui), and brother-in-law, Pierre (Charles Berling), where he catches up with his childhood friend, Claude (Guillaume de Tonquédec). Whilst waiting for Anna (Judith El Zein), his younger spouse who is always running late, his fellow guests happily bombard him with questions on his fast approaching fatherhood… But when his hosts ask Vincent what name he has chosen for his future offspring, his response plunges the family into chaos.
Winner of Best Supporting Actress and Best Supporting Actor in César Awards, France, 2003.

The Dandelions (Du Vent Dans Mes Mollets)
