Take a handsome 23-year-old (Stanislav Merhar) with a penchant for personal ads, his opera-diva mother (Dianne Wiest at her glorious best), her impeccably coutured director and friend (the splendid Bulle Ogier), an enigmatically odd actress (the intriguingly skittish Jane Birkin), a few young hustlers, and Vanessa Redgrave, Simon Callow and Jerry Hall; add a good dose of narcissism, a little murder and a lost father; the inimitable Paris as a backdrop, a wonderful soundtrack (from pop to Turandot) and a whimsical homage to film and celebrity, and you've got Merci Docteur Rey!
