Blame It on Fidel / La Faute à Fidel Series: Rendez-Vous with French Cinema 2007 [February 28 - March 11] Director: Julie Gavras, Country: France, Release: 2006, Runtime: 99 Set in 1970, Blame It on Fidel is a wry and engaging look at how personal the political becomes in the life of one nine-year-old girl. Fernando (Stefano Accorsi) and Marie (Julie Depardieu) are left-leaning and very comfortably upper middle class when a trip to Latin America convinces both to dedicate themselves full-time to the many causes they have only verbally supported. Soon they have moved out of their large house and into a small apartment, to the consternation of their daughter, Anna. Moreover, the girl fails to understand the late-night presence in her home of so many strangers, why her father forbids her to read Mickey Mouse, or why the nuns at school regard her strangely. Full of wonderful historical asides and period detail, Blame It on Fidel is about that moment when parents realize that their children are their own separate selves—and the moment when children discover the same thing about their parents. In the crucial role of Anna, Nina Kervel is a revelation. Additional screenings are at the IFC Center. Check www.ifccenter.com for showtimes and tickets.
