Dardennes Brothers Cecile de France
Powerhouse film about a young boy whose father deserts him and sells his bike. The kid is obsessive-borderline OCD-and does everything he can think of to get back with dad...including committing a violent crime to get the money to bribe dad.
This was a graphic presentation of someone with an open wound flailing about trying to close it. Very painful to watch. The character played by his carer seemed saintly...absorbing his abuse because she could see his overwhelming hurt.
Excellent lead performances, jittery camera worked well in this case. Wrenching, unforgettable film.
