The eagerly-awaited second film from writer/director Alix Delaporte (Angèle et Tony) is a profoundly affecting drama about a young boy determined to change the course of his future.
Soccer mad 14-year-old Victor (extraordinary newcomer Romain Paul) lives in a community of trailers and huts on the seaside with his single mother Nadia (Clotilde Hesme). One day after practice Nadia announces she’d like him to go live with her parents. Victor decides instead to seek out his long-absent father, the famous conductor Samuel Rovinski (Grégory Gadebois). Samuel has recently arrived to rehearse Mahler’s Sixth Symphony with the local orchestra, and is completely unaware of Victor’s existence. His initial hostility soon turns to an awkward kind of tenderness, and − possibly − love.
Intimate and emotionally satisfying, Delaporte’s film is a poetic, neo-realist jewel.
Hesme and Gadebois deliver wonderful, nuanced performances, but it’s Paul who, appearing in almost every frame, completely steals the show. His mesmerising breakout performance was the deserving winner of the Marcello Mastroianni prize for Best Young Actor at the Venice Film Festival.
这片当时觉得还是很有#威尼斯电影节#竞争实力的,平淡絮叨又有点静静的小力量一向很受欢迎。少年青春期的烦恼啊;总是很洋洋洒洒又一筹莫展,又何况是真的有烦恼。关键小男孩演的很赞,长得又像马特达蒙(果然后来拿了新演员奖),比起其他某些小男孩为主的戏已经很良心了。
对这种东拉西扯没什么主题的法国片实在是无感
故意魂归故里的卡斯?
收尾太仓促,父子关系改善缺乏过渡,中规中矩,小演员表现不错。
