A comical and touching story of a man looking back at his childhood in 1970s Greenwich Village, Lions Gate Films' HOUSE OF D is the feature film writing and directing debut of actor David Duchovny, starring Duchovny, Anton Yelchin, Robin Williams, Téa Leoni, Frank Langella and Erykah Badu.
An American artist living a bohemian existence in Paris, Tom Warshaw (David Duchovny) is trying to make sense of his troubled adult life by reflecting upon his extraordinary childhood...The year is 1973, and thirteen-year-old Greenwich Village native Tommy Warshaw (Anton Yelchin) is on the brink of becoming a man. While his bereaved single mother (Téa Leoni) continues to mourn the death of his father, Tommy escapes his own grief by causing trouble at school and making afternoon meat deliveries with his best friend Pappas (Robin Williams), a mentally challenged janitor. Following the romantic advice offered by Lady (Erykah Badu) - incarcerated in the infamous Greenwich Village Women's House of Detention for shadowy reasons - Tommy even experiences his first taste of love. Yet when an unexpected tragedy radically alters his world, Tommy must make a life-defining choice - one that will compel the adult Tom Warshaw, thirty years later, to confront his unfinished past.
Vividly capturing the spirit of youth in all its joy and heartbreak, HOUSE OF D examines with humor and pathos a boy's harrowing coming of age and the manner in which it defines his adulthood. Sensitively directed by Duchovny and bolstered by affectionate portrayals from a talented cast, HOUSE OF D is a winning, hopeful story about overcoming loss and coming to terms with one's past.
On pense ce qu'on veut de l'acteur et de ses choix mais les épisodes qu'il a mis en scène pour X-Files étaient excellents. J'attends ça avec une certaine curiosité !

episode 9.16 "William" - pas vu

Le premier me dit vaguement quelque chose, les autres ...
Mais je crois que j'ai la saison 6 à la maison, je jetterai un oeil sur l'épisode.
Un petit film mignon ... un peu trop même à mon goût. Tea Leoni en mère dépressive est pas mal mais Robin Williams en simplet, j'acrroche beaucoup moins (ou alors c'est la VF).
Les séquences parisiennes m'ont rappeler dans leur ultra-réalisme le French Kiss de Kasdan mais tout ce qui se passe à New-York sonne fort heureusement un peu plus juste.
