Robin CampilloEastern Boys
France 2014In French, English & Russian / English subtitles 128 min For audicences aged 12 and above Compassionately conflicted views of gay male sexuality and inter-European immigration mesh to fascinating effect in Eastern Boys, Robin Campillo's sleek, shape-shifting and intermittently stunning sophomore feature. [...] This tale of a middle-aged businessman who gets more than he bargained for when cruising in the Gare du Nord is by turns a frightening home-invasion drama, a tender love story and a tense hide-and-seek thriller, with far more control over these unsettling tonal slides than initially seems feasible. Screenplay: Robin Campillo Cast: Olivier Rabourdin, Kirill Emelyanov, Danil Vorobyev Production: Hugues Charbonneau, Marie-Ange Luciani / Les Films de Pierre Print: Institut français Discussion after the screening at Olohuone. |
