Review
Two years before making his acclaimed gay-themed drama
Presque rien (2000), Sébastien Lifshitz
made this equally compelling coming-of-age short film. The way in which the film
is shot and edited very cleverly captures the confusion in the mind of its protagonist
as he makes the uncomfortable transition from childhood to adulthood. Like
Presque rien, it’s a very intense, brooding film,
with a striking sense of realism. Actor Malik Zidi makes his first screen appearance
(in a minor role), a few years before director François Ozon made him famous with
his dark sex comedy
Gouttes d’eau sur pierres brûlantes
(2000).
