The comfortable daily routines of aging Parisian actor Gilbert Valence, 76, are suddenly shaken when he learns that his wife, daughter, and son-in-law have been killed in a car crash. Having to take care of his now-orphaned grandson, he struggles to go on with his lifelong acting career like he's used to. But the roles he is offered – a flashy TV show and a hectic last-minute replacement in an English-language film of Joyce's Ulysses – finally convince him that it's time to retire.

I'm Going Home / Vou Para Casa (2001) [Re-UP]

Manoel de Oliveira's I'm Going Home might have made a fitting swan song for the 93-year-old director if he weren't still so spry; unlike his main character, the filmmaker obviously has more work to do. After a performance in Ionesco's Exit the King, Gilbert Valence (the great Michel Piccoli) discovers that his entire family (minus his grandson) has been killed in a car crash. He is an aging actor, friendly to his admirers (he is frequently seen signing autographs) and careful when making important choices.

Gilbert's decision-making (to buy or not to buy a pair of shoes, to take or decline a role in an action-packed American film) suggests a willingness to overcome his overwhelming sense of loss, except he doesn't know how. Though he takes risks, he discovers that comfort lies in that which is familiar. Too young for a role in the aforementioned action film and too old for the part of Buck Mulligan in a screen adaptation of James Joyce's Ulysses (directed by John Malkovich's John Crawford), Gilbert not only becomes a victim of typecasting but a slave to his mortality.

Staring at a Jack Vettriano painting depicting dancing lovers, Piccoli profoundly evokes Gilbert's sense of loss and remorse. On the Exit the King stage, a character says of Gilbert's King Berenger: "His majesty the king is raving." Like his Berenger, Gilbert is seemingly convinced that his power is intact. Gilbert busies himself after the death of his family (he buys the shoes, he takes the part in the film) as if to return to normalcy. Tragically, Gilbert's shoes are stolen and he soon finds himself struggling through his demanding English role in Ulysses. Oliveira's compositions engage silent film idiom to glorious effect, and the story itself unravels like a great silent work with a haunting open ending. However sad, Oliveira suggests that there is no place like home and certainly no better place to die.

The acclaimed 92-year-old Portuguese filmmaker Manoel De Oliveira ("Abraham Valley"/"The Convent"/"A Talking Picture") is still at the top of his games. This slight pic is a delightful, heartfelt and poignant observation of the 76-year-old great French actor Michel Piccoli at work and on leisure time, as he plays the part of respected veteran actor Gilbert Vance who goes on acting after learning at the end of his stage performance in Ionesco's "Exit the King," that his wife, daughter and son-in-law have all died in a traffic accident. As a result, Piccoli adopts his young grandson Serge (Jean Koeltgen).

Piccoli copes with the tragedy by going regularly to his favorite cafe, warmly playing with the battery-powered cars of his grandson and shopping, and insisting on working on only serious projects. The serious actor tells his noxious agent (Antoine Chappey) that a TV role in a vulgar action series is not the kind of role he wants even if the pay is outrageous and that he has no interest in having an affair with a much younger actress (Sylvie Leonor Silveira) who told his agent that she wouldn't mind. Later the cloying American director John Crawford (John Malkovich) convinces Piccoli to take a small part in the English-language movie production of Joyce's Ulysses, which worries the actor because he's not sure how his English will hold up and realizes he's not suited for the role.

Though the plot doesn't sound like much, what Oliveira does with it is just superb. It's an understated film that touches on greatness because the director is able to evoke the same charm and intense mood Bergman did for his elderly professor subject in Wild Strawberries. It's a flawless film, one that has a way of pleasantly staying with you long after seeing it.
