Directed by Jean-Paul Salomé
Veteran French actress Isabelle Huppert is so good at playing cold and amoral characters in her many films that you re on her side even when she is blatantly breaking the law as an accidental drug dealer here.
Which makes this funny, patently absurd but quirkily enjoyable French crime dramedy the perfect vehicle for her consummately naughty craft.
I mean, she disguises herself as a Muslim woman dragging big bags of dope openly along the streets and squares of Paris like a travelling salesperson. How nuts is this, right?
Basically,
Mama Weed is what
Breaking Bad on TV would ve turned into if it was made into a mischievous big-mama-dealer comedy with funding stolen from a drug cartel.
