Call Me Elisabeth
2006 · 90 MIN · IMDB 6.9 · 468 VOTES · DIR. Jean-Pierre Améris
Overview
A 10-year-old girl lives in post WWII rural France with her parents, who are about to divorce. Her older sister leaves home to finish school, and the young girl is left with a mysterious, almost silent housekeeper. Being afraid of the dark, and of other "phenomenoms" including a haunted château nearby, she curiously accepts a stranger she finds in her mansion's barn. This fact contradicts her fearful nature, but fulfills her loneliness. The stranger has run away from a nearby psychiatric clinic, where her father was treating the stranger. She hides the stranger, protects him, and he becomes her best friend. Is this girl searching for true companionship, coming of age, or is she asserting her independence for the first time in her short life?

00:29:20 It's weird but there are much weirder things in sorcery.
00:34:55 Seven years bad luck.
00:37:29 but you needn't lie to her. Say I need a break.
00:41:58 But whenever you're inside, lock the door.
00:45:30 Give it to me!
00:49:37 Not as far as I know.
00:52:44 Yes.
00:55:11 While out walking one day
00:58:27 Are you there?
01:00:09 See, it's not so bad now.
01:02:51 You're not mad. You have nothing to fear
01:05:50 or you'll lose it.
01:11:33 Are you up there?
01:18:45 Snickers!
01:25:35 Call me Elisabeth.
