See more 11/14/2010 Catherine Deneuve can elevate any film she's in with her performance. In "Apres Lui", she's a grieving mother who struggles to move on with her life after her college-aged son is killed in a car accident. The script, co-written by Christopher Honore, falls a bit flat, but manages to bring us a unique story of mourning that merges with obsession and misdirected grief. See more Read all reviews
