(2002) Rating: Starring: Vanessa Redgrave, Dianne Wiest, Jane Birkin, Jerry Hall, Simon Callow, Bulle Ogier, Stanislas Merhar, Karim Saleh, Didier Flamand Director: Andrew Litvack Category: Comedy, Foreign Studio: Image Ent. Subtitles: Spanish Length: 92 mins     Over the top and out of their minds! Take a handsome 23-year-old (Stanislas Merhar) with a penchant for personal ads, his opera-diva mother (Dianne Wiest at her glorious best), her impeccably coutured director and friend (the splendid Bulle Ogier), an enigmatically odd actress (the intriguingly skittish Jane Birkin), a few young hustlers, plus Vanessa Redgrave, Simon Callow and Jerry Hall...add a good dose of narcissism, a little murder and a lost father...the inimitable Paris as a backdrop, a wonderful soundtrack (from pop to Turandot) and a whimsical homage to film and celebrity...and you've got Merci Docteur Rey! Merchant Ivory has a great instinct for talent and brings together some of the best for Andrew Litvack's debut feature. For his part, Litvack proves worthy of his mentor's heritage in this hilarious and amoral tale. Featuring Dianne Wiest (Bullets over Broadway, Hannah and Her Sisters), Jane Birkin (Evil under the Sun, Blow-Up), Simon Callow (A Room with a View), Vanessa Redgrave (Howards End, Julia), Bulle Ogier (Maitresse, Venus Beauty Institute), Jerry Hall (Batman).
