Merci Docteur Rey

Merci Docteur Rey is a 2002 comedy film directed and written by Andrew Litvack. The film stars Dianne Wiest, Jane Birkin, Simon Callow, Jerry Hall, Vanessa Redgrave, Bulle Ogier, and Stanislas Merhar. It is produced by Ismail Merchant and his company Merchant Ivory Productions.

Thomas Beaumont is a young man recruited into an illicit love triangle to watch a much older man's sexual liaison, but ends up witnessing what turns out to be the older man's murder. The next day his mother Elisabeth informs him that his estranged father has been in Paris until the previous night, when he was murdered. Seeking help with infamous psychiatrist Docteur Rey, the young man comes across Pénélope, an eccentric actress who has come totally unhinged by the death of Rey.

On review aggregator website Rotten Tomatoes, with 22 reviews, the film has a rare approval rating of 0% – meaning no favorable reviews whatsoever – receiving an average rating of 3.20/10. The site's consensus is: "This overly wacky farce strains for sophistication but lacks polish and a coherent narrative."

This film was released on DVD in Australia by Payless Entertainment.
