“An eye-catching, engrossing romp.” (Variety)

Philippe Mora, an Australian pop artist and cult-horror filmmaker, plays a kind of film noir detective on a case, armed with brushes and paint as he explores his parents’ World War II history: his father’s clandestine role in the French Resistance and his mother’s unbelievable escape en route to Auschwitz. During his epic adventure, which takes him from Los Angeles to Berlin and Paris to Melbourne, he creates a daring comic book to tell their story. Monsieur Mayonnaise is a richly layered, colorful road movie starring real-life heroes, artists, Nazi villains, and baguettes with—what else?—French mayonnaise (which plays a surprising part in his father’s life).
