暴徒三兄弟 (2004)

For the originality of its content and manner of telling, Gael Morel's "Le Clan" deserves wide art-house distribution. It does, however, need a better English title. Life may be difficult for people in the film, but they are not slaves and make choices that attempt to better their situations, if not always happily. Why not simply "A Clan," since nobody remembers Griffith's second title for "Birth of a Nation," or "Brothers"? Two boys practice a North African "slave dance," but for sport and release.The tightly edited movie can be thought of as short stories about three brothers and their father. With rapid shifts we keep learning new things about the characters. Sometimes one wonders what went on during a gap, but usually one can figure it out and the dialogue that would have worked it through would have been sentimental and out of character.One shot of the brothers huddled together watched by their father is difficult to justify realistically, but it works as a symbolic representation. If meanwhile one wants everything spelled out and sweetened, there is the Québec film "C.R.A.Z.Y." The brothers do maintain enormous familiarity. The youngest one, very drunk, is helped by a brother to vomit.If that's shocking, we have to take it as a fact of the milieu. The banlieux of France have recently been in the news. "Le Clan" goes much further with stories that lead one to care for the characters in the variety of their difficult situations of social derogation, dangerous labour, sexuality, and self-esteem. 看了蛮多部法国片，渐渐摸清法国片的风格，就是对白很闪烁，不过这部片算是中上水准的作品，当年的暴徒三兄弟，都成长成为男人了，吐槽一下二哥长得好像av版的周杰伦。。。怎么回事。。法国的文艺片，总是很清新。没有大起大落的剧情，有的缓慢的讲述生活的那点事。本片中三兄弟的都有各自的挣扎，喜欢结尾的设计。三兄弟都很帅尤其是光头男超sexy，哈哈~当然也最杯具。老三的小BF应该是颠覆性学校里的阿拉伯男吧？越发阳光了。虽然没有完全理解导演的意图，但整体感觉还不错，很养眼。我覺得有點沉悶了，一開始我還以為是講三兄弟之前的曖昧………… 不過這三兄弟的感情還是很讓人羡慕的，親情總是最可靠，最讓人依戀的三个兄弟，三种性格，三重经历，三条人生路。他锒铛入狱后选择重新做人，他耿耿于怀爱恨情仇而冤冤相报，他沉默少言却不能敢爱敢恨。单身父亲，离世的母亲，三个个性迥异的儿子，看似简单实则复杂的家庭，却演绎出一场与众不同的悲欢离合。 法国的片子就是看不透啊看不透—— Marc浮躁不安的夏日, Chris從嚴冬步入暖春, Oliver在秋季破繭而出. ▤「We won't
