Mémé

Mémé is a French documentary that portrays the grandmother of actor Philippe Torreton. The film depicts her life as a modest peasant in Normandy, using her personal experience to represent a broader image of rural life. Through the use of amateur footage and the context of major historical events, the story explores the disappearance of traditional countryside living as society transitioned toward modernity and consumerism.

The film was directed by Camille Juza and is the first in a chronological list of her directed works, followed by Martin Scorsese, the Italian-American Master in 2024. The screenplay was written by Juza and Philippe Torreton, who also appears in the film as himself and serves as the narrator. Produced by several companies including CNC and France Télévisions, the documentary has a runtime of 52 minutes.
