One of my favourite films. Checkovian in essence, a subtle critic of morals and politics, in a delightful serene country scenery, while far away a revolution is attempted. Family relations, enticing storytelling, with humour and tenderness, great acting.

This is a mildly funny country-house romp, that is perhaps sustained by the fun it pokes at politics and naive dreams. Family death, city-heirs descend with arrogance and disdain for the country life, but are then won over by its charms. Straight forward enough, but 'Milou en Mai' goes further. After being won over by nature, the party are then bitten by nature in the wild, following a forced evacuation. After the May 1968 riots are presented with dreamy naivety, the harsh consequences and inevitable chaos come to the fore. Just as they all seem to fall in to a trance, so too they all seem to 'wake up' and life goes on as it began. But it's all pretty frivolous, in a charming enough way.

The May 68' as seen by Louis Malle

Louis Malle was one of the most notable members of the Nouvelle Vague (New Wave) french movement that was an alternative to film reconstructions historical and literary adaptations commonly "infidels" as they used to do filmmakers Delannoy, Autant-Lara and some others, because, unlike these, the New Wave advocated an approach to the problem of the individual to privacy, their personal experiences. But like the rest of their comrades (with the exception of Truffaut), Louis Malle also realized that this new path, it could anchor a bourgeois and individualistic conception of life and needed to be linked to analysis of social problems, seeking more openness and greater narrative ideological commitment. So did "Lacombe Lucien", an energetic recreation of the effects left by fascism. And, among others, "Alamo Bay", on the reaction of the Vietnamese Americans living there, after the failure of the war.Until that arrives "MILOU EN MAI", a metaphor for the state and the system, full of irony and black humor of the finest. Milou's mother, Mrs. Vieuzac, is representing the state: the owner of everything. Their children, grandchildren and sons-in-law, are the bourgeoisie, owners of power in the state. Claire, the maid, is the proletariat, the heir to only a quarter of the estate of Mrs. Vieuzac. The main prototypes come to life: the landowner, the reactionary intellectual, trader, bourgeois ladies... With a delicious dialogue through participation in the old script by Luis Bunuel collaborator Jean Claude Carriere ("Now women complicated everything. Before they knew it was not an orgasm and it was easier"), a delightful musical score with the great jazz style of Stephane Grappelli, and beaten with that herd, Louis Malle reconstructs the warm and vibrant time of May 68', in which there was a social class who knew everything, understood everything and was consistent with everything... until that any solace to meddle in its liabilities.In a wonderful characterization, Michel Piccoli represents Milou, the provincial intellectual who suddenly is surrounded by its unique family at the announcement of the death of his mother. When that nice breed, feel that the facts are about to touch them directly, they decide to leave the field (are excluded). What follows is better that you see it, you'll find people have probably already seen in your neighborhood or on your street and you'll realize, perhaps, that many things are not as they seem. "MILOU EN MAI", is a piece of film hard to forget.
