Je suis le seigneur du château
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Je suis le seigneur du château (English: I'm the King of the Castle) is a 1989 French motion picture, directed by Régis Wargnier.
[edit] Plot
The film stars Régis Arpin as 12-year old Thomas, the son of a millionaire. Together, they live a fairly isolated existence, in a mansion in rural France. His father (Jean Rochefort) hires a widowed woman (Dominique Blanc) to take care of things while he is away. The maid's son, Charles (David Behar) moves in as well, and the two parents hope that the two can become friends; they become enemies immediately after meeting each other. Once their parents fall in love, Thomas decides to make Charles, who he views as an "invader", as miserable as possible.
Je suis le seigneur du château might be compared by some to the Macaulay Culkin film The Good Son, with its similar storyline. However, whereas Culkin's character is psychotic, Arpin's character's actions attempt to serve a purpose. The movie was recently repacked with La Femme de ma vie in a 2-DVD set.
