And in the immortal words of Sideshow Bob, it isn't
German for 'The Mommie The'.
'Mommie' co-stars Frances Conroy, Philip Baker Hall,
Natasha Lyonne, Jason Priestley and Stark Sands.
Sundance will release the comedy theatrically as part
of its recently announced Sundance Film Series, which
will feature four films released in 10 US cities in
the autumn.
English director Michael Winterbottom's 'In This World'
and Mark Decena's 'Dopamine' were the first two Film
Series releases to be announced.
Written by and starring Charles Busch, 'Mommie' was
created as an ode to the Ross Hunter-style big-screen
soaps of the 1960s. Rather like 'Far From Heaven'
was an ode to Douglas Sirk's melodramas of the 1950s.
It
features Busch as a fallen pop diva whose husband
discovers that she's having an affair with a tennis
pro and has him killed. What follows is a comedic
mixture of whodunits and double-crossings.
