What is Milou en Mai about?
During the events of May 1968 in France, different worldviews of conflicting relatives collide in their family estate.
Milou en mai, released as Milou in May in the UK and as May Fools in North America, is a 1990 French film directed by Louis Malle. Set against the backdrop of May 1968, the film depicts a clash within a provincial bourgeois family over the division of an inheritance, centring on the body of a deceased woman they cannot manage to bury. It serves as a highly ironic and biting allegory for the events of 1968—featuring protests, attempts at sexual liberation, a failed marriage, and greed, as the family grapples with who will inherit what and whether the family home can be saved. The film combines elements of social and interpersonal commentary with farce.
