Maman Est Chez le Coiffeur is Lea Pool's new movie. (You might remember her previous film, The Blue Butterfly.)

It stars at least two kids:

Elie Dupuis

And I'm not 100% sure who this is, but he seems to be playing his younger brother. My guess would be Antoine Desrochers, based on IMDb.

There are lots of excerpts from the film on YouTube. In many of them, Elie Dupuis is featured playing piano and singing. Apparently he's talented as a musician as well as an actor.

A friend of mine saw this movie recently. She said she hated it. But I thought some of you might be interested...

Unlikely to get a wide release outside of Quebec. But it'll probably be on DVD.

While they aren't the lead characters, it sounds like the boys get some decent screentime based on this summary I found.


Set in 1966, Léa Pool’s Maman est chez le coiffeur opens light and breezy as summer begins for teenage Élise and her kid brothers. The picture darkens when their journalist mother announces that if she doesn’t check out of their idyllic country home and take a posting in London, she will die. The impact on the family is immediate. Brother Coco (Élie Dupuis) becomes even more obsessively focused on the go-kart he’s assembling in the garage. More disturbingly, Benoit (Hugo St-Onge-Paquin), who in an early scene shows mom his drawing of her as a powerful queen, smashes toys and tailspins into self-destructive withdrawal. French actor Laurent Lucas plays the father as a fussy medical professional, whose initial reaction to his wife’s abandonment is childish regression. The movie’s fairy-tale atmosphere, complete with its own comical Wicked Witch of the East, is heightened by exquisite visuals of Quebec's Richelieu Valley.

Thanks. I guess I got the name of the second boy wrong. He must be Hugo St-Onge-Paquin, then.

It would be nice to have names for the other boys in the cast, in addition to Coco and Benoit...
