Film Overview
br /> If it helps, imagine this savage comedy as MARRIED … WITH CHILDREN meets DRIVING MISS DAISY and kills it. Danielle is one mean old lady, indiscriminate in her cunning, unspeakable in her malice. After virtually driving her elderly housekeeper to her death, Auntie Danielle is taken in by her well?meaning but silly relations in Paris. At first she plays the part of the helpless, grateful aunt, but soon her relatives' petty bourgeois lives become the targets of her diabolical tricks. In posing as a neglected, inconvenient, senile relation for dinner guests, Danielle drives her family to the brink. We double?dog dare the moguls in Hollywood to try an American remake!
