However, after hearing all the (pretty bad) reviews, I decided that I should watch it and build my own opinion. I've always been interested in Romain Gavras's father - Costa-Gavras -, and he appeared to be confident enough with a video camera, as I had noticed in his video-clips.
It's done now. I've watched it. And let me say this : what a shame I did. I think I'd rather have stayed in my evasive state of mind, because now, I can actually confirm what critics, reviews or inexperienced people had said about this feature: it's useless, empty, vulgar, gratuitous and the actors' direction is a shame, because it's non-existent.
To be short - even if I wanted to, it couldn't take long to write a summary - this film tells the story of a nerdy and redhead adolescent and of an embittered guidance counselor who go on a journey together and start acting rebellious, doing wannabe anarchic acts against anything they happen to dislike. It is set in the North of France - for Gavras' defense, the set is gorgeously interesting in its poverty and misery - and there is nothing else to add.
In a word: OUR DAY WILL COME or how to be simpleton instead of being provocative. Some should stick to what they're good at - in this case, video clips and commercials.
* The title means "Isn't Blier who wants to be", but it sounds better in French :)
