The Three Little Pigs: Commentary on "The Boy Returns"

Well, I went for Clive Owen, even though the subject matter didn't appeal to me.

The son and the father are actually three boys. Father Joe is also a boy, see how he exploits Laura, a single mother to a son's classmate who has a crush on him. Joe is on a business trip to the UK, and he just wants to entrust the children to Laura, even though Laura has just been able to spend her own weekend. Laura angrily shouted out her dissatisfaction with him: "Our relationship skipped several stages... You are not living in a pig house but a pig's hell..." This scene is too real.

The relationship between father and son is delicate and touching. The performances of adults and children are very good, but what impresses me the most is the beautiful scenery, whether it is the endless and calming blue sea, the boundless golden grass swaying in the wind, Still an empty, dusty, winding road. In the end I saw it entirely as an Australian landscape film.

The music is really great.

    The soundtrack is lyrical and the scenery is moving. Sadness like sunshine, like time passing slowly.
