Oh La La Pauline
Contemporary Paris. In Pauline’s kingdom, the king wears high heels, the queen swears like a trooper and the princess spits in the face of Prince Charming. A wreck of a documentary, rebellious, fascinating and heartrending with stories of love and hate, and family above all.

From a family film rife with a raging and ultimately disarming energy, filmmaker Émilie Brisavoine has successfully chiseled away an excellent portrait of an impulsive teenager caught in the middle of a visceral and overpowering inter-generational narrative.
A kaleidoscopic film where home movies, personal diaries and behavioural chronicles approach the limits of reality TV, Oh la la Pauline draws the curtain back on a fascinating experience of artisanal film, much like Jonathan Caouette’s illustrious Tarnation.
Between its battlegrounds and chaotic collective psychoanalysis, Oh la la Pauline is also worth a watch for the unlikely theatricality of its subjects, each hilarious, moving or exasperating in turns.
