Abandoned by his biological father, Cyril met Samantha, who runs a hair salon, and kindly took him up, sent him to see his biological father, and spent the weekend with him. Cyril was restless by nature and could not get along with Samantha. And under the instigation of hooligans, they attacked passersby and stole money. However, in the end, he found his way back and said goodbye to the small passage of growth that went astray.
In terms of narrative style, the film does not have an overly dramatic plot, and is basically just a retelling of life scenes. Instead of telling stories with twists and turns, giving everything a cause-and-effect relationship, he draws some comic strips in a straightforward manner, as tranquil as clear water. Those who watch drink it tasteless, those who experience it taste sweet. The repeated running of the young man is so naturally reminiscent of "Four Hundred Downs". Children of the same age, with different troubles and lives, have similar emotions. In the end, it all turned into a growing smile, or a tear. Perhaps the two directors also intentionally approached Truffaut, or paid tribute.
In order to show the exuberant vitality and uninvited rebellious period of the 12-year-old child, the director not only closely followed Cyril's every move with handheld photography, but also frantically dispatched the young actors inside the camera. Jumping, jumping, rushing. The aforementioned running is the most important thing. Before Cyril's heart was quiet, he was almost never quiet for a moment. He was always running fast, towards the depths, or upstairs and down. In short, running was set. For the peripheral manifestation of Cyril's emotions. Appears in various forms, is expressed in various forms.
When Cyril fell from the tree, he fell into a coma and got up and patted the dirt and rode away on his bike. Bad experiences are like those mud, they will fall off when they are tapped, and they will be forgotten in a blink of an eye. Suddenly I discovered another possibility for this movie: not only Cyril's present tense, but also the memory of every male audience. Only when I look back, do the major events of fighting, beating, hurting others and oneself in those days seem so inconsequential, light as the wind, and fleeting.
The two Palme d'Ors bear the Darney brothers on their shoulders. This time, the choice of themes and stories is relatively simple. It's just like chatting with everyone after dinner, not like passionate speeches competing for awards, such as the "Birth of the Pope". Therefore, there should be little hope of winning the prize. Quan should rise up one day and recite a poem.
