Mom et moi

About This Movie

So, 'Mom et moi' from 2011 is a pretty raw dive into the world of crime, specifically through the eyes of this director who has ties to the Hell's Angels, particularly Mom Boucher and her son, Francis. The documentary almost feels like a personal confessional, weaving together childhood memories and a complex view of criminality. It's got this gritty atmosphere that really pulls you in, with a pacing that ebbs and flows, reflecting the chaos and calm of the lives portrayed. There’s a haunting quality in their stories, almost poetic at times, and the way the director engages with his subjects feels both intimate and unsettling. Not your typical documentary, it definitely marks a unique corner of storytelling.
