Bonhomme de chemin

About This Movie

So, 'Bonhomme de chemin' weaves this subtle and quiet narrative. It’s centered on an 11-year-old kid named Valentin, who’s living this almost isolated existence with his dad on their farm. There's a real sense of desolation and a unique atmosphere, which works well to highlight the inner turmoil of the characters. The pacing is deliberate, giving you time to absorb the awkwardness and confusion that comes when Valentin discovers his father’s connection with a woman he met online. What strikes me is the raw performances, especially from the young actor. It’s not just a story about familial bonds; it’s about trust and the complexities of relationships in a digital age. Kind of a stark, introspective experience if you ask me.

Focuses on complex father-son dynamics. · Subtle exploration of online relationships. · Captures the essence of rural isolation.
