| The Kid With A Bike |
Dir: Jean-Pierre and Luc Dardenne Starring: Thomas Doret, Cécile de France, Jérémie Renier 87mins
French with English sub-titles |
A somewhat nicer child now, but only somewhat. The Kid With A Bike is Cyril and he and his bike won the Grand Jury Prize at Cannes last year.
Cyril is 11 and has been abaondoned to the boy's home by his father, who also took off with his bike. Cyril escapes to track down his father, and his bike with an intensity and need that permeates the film. Along the way he meets Samantha, who agrees to be his weekend foster parent. He also meets Wes, who lets him join his gang.
From the directors of L'Enfant, another non-romantic but powerful look at childhood.
