Blame It On Fidel (LA FAUTE À FIDEL)

Synopsis   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 comfortable middle-class, when a trip to Latin America convinces both to dedicate themselves full-time to the many causes they’ve only verbally supported, to the consternation of their daughter, Anna (Nina Kervel). 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.    Starring   Julie Depardieu, Stefano Accorsi, Nina Kervel, Benjamin Feuillet    Directed By   Julie Gavras    Written By   Julie Gavras    Theatrical Release Date   08/03/2007    Studio      MPAA rating   Not Rated    Languages   French    Subtitles   English    Audio   1:85 Dolby Digital    Running Time   99 Minutes    Genre   Drama
