My favorite nightmare is a 2011 French comedy comedy from Anne Fontaine .

action

Gallery owner Agathe Novic and publisher François Dambreville have lived together for many years and have a son, Adrien. Unfortunately for the parents, this is very bad at school, but this worries Agathe because of her social position. She has no emotional relationship with her son or with François, who has learned to accept her coldness over the years. One day, at a parents' meeting, Agathe meets the vulgar and hard-drinking unskilled worker Patrick, who primarily attracts attention with disrespect and indecency. She is all the more surprised when Patrick stands in front of her door shortly afterwards. He is the father of Tony's new school friend, who surprised Agathe with his intelligence.

In the following years, Agathe sees Patrick more often than she would like. François became friends with Patrick and hired him to do outstanding repairs in their luxury apartment. For this purpose, he is assigned a duty room in the attic. Patrick, who previously lived in a small concierge apartment or even in his car and therefore had problems with the youth welfare office, uses the new freedom to sleep with the housemaid Evelyne, among other things. Adrien is meanwhile getting worse and worse at school and is supposed to be expelled from school after the end of the year, as he dealt with SIM cards and had his class work improved by the class representative he bribed. However, this is not the only bad news for Agathe: Shortly afterwards, at the social welfare office, Patrick meets the clerk Julie, whom he soon introduces to François. He starts a secret affair with her and one day tells Agathe that he will leave her and live with Julie. Agathe takes note of this and goes to an exhibition opening organized by her, at which Patrick also appears. She gets drunk with him and they both end up in bed together at the end of the day. In order to improve Patrick's situation at the youth welfare office, they both portray themselves as a couple and state that Tony lives with Agathe in an orderly manner. The office announces an inspection visit.

After a while, François realizes that he can hardly handle Julie's energy and is annoyed by her spiritual interest. He goes to Agathe to propose a marriage to consolidate their relationship. She rejects him and instead proposes a permanent breakup. She also tells him that she had slept with Patrick several times. François is leaving. Patrick, on the other hand, behaves so impossibly at a soirée organized by Agathe that he and Agathe fall out. The next morning, Patrick left for his half-brother in Belgium, when an employee of the youth welfare office showed up to see Tony's living conditions. You get the worst possible impression and therefore decide to give Tony to foster parents at the end of the week. Agathe follows Patrick and tries to get him to return, but Patrick apparently no longer has any interest in Tony. At the end of the week he shows up anyway and wants to go away with Tony to prevent a breakup. Agathe finally takes the last resort to keep Tony in the family: she marries Patrick.

François and Julie, who are pregnant, also appear at the wedding. Agathe gives Patrick a valuable photo of Hiroshi Sugimoto , which he defaces with a highlighter shortly afterwards while drunk. When Agathe hears about it, she separates from him. A few months later they both meet again. He has realized that he has a drinking problem and has gone through withdrawal. He works as a salesman and gives Agathe the defaced photo back - he has sketched a penis on the black and white photo that shows Agathe in front of a huge white canvas. She will integrate it in her next exhibition as a work of art Sugimoto saccagé ( Devastated Sugimoto ) by Patrick Demeuleu, who is now being praised as an artist at the exhibition opening. He finds the picture vulgar and jokingly says that he would have preferred Agathe uptight, and she first uses her name when she says he should "shut up". They both finally kiss.

criticism

For the lexicon of international films , my dearest nightmare was a "turbulent, cheeky comedy that draws its joke from social differences." Criticized were "the weaknesses of the script, which does not explain its characters sufficiently and does not make their changes credible." The film is "played convincingly in the main roles", while "the secondary characters are exposed to ridiculousness with catchy stereotypes". The film begins "with a furious battle of words, but soon gets bogged down in a story that doesn't know where it is going," said Cinema . Der Spiegel wrote that the film "would be a rather conservative tabloid if Isabelle Huppert, Benoît Poelvoorde and André Dussollier didn't show off fabulous."

The German Film and Media Assessment FBW in Wiesbaden awarded the film the rating “particularly valuable”.
