Le Beau Serge
Drama
François returns to his village after a long absence. He finds his friend Serge who has married Yvonne, and has developed an alcohol problem after the death of their stillborn child. Serge has become an angry, bitter figure not unlike the roles of James Dean, refusing to face reality and adulthood and François must help him.
VIBE
A raw, unflinching look at fractured friendships and the crushing weight of rural despair. It’s a somber, introspective journey into the heart of disillusionment, captured with a gritty, naturalistic style.
