Comme des mouches

About This Movie

So, 'Comme des mouches' is this quiet, introspective drama that really captures that sense of disconnection and longing. Francis, the main character, he’s this brooding teenager stuck in a foster home, and you can just feel his restlessness. The rural Laurentian backdrop adds this haunting beauty to the whole thing. The pacing is slow, which some might find tedious, but it works to build this heavy atmosphere. The performances, especially by the kid who plays Francis, have this rawness that feels real. It’s not flashy at all, but there’s a certain authenticity that resonates. It’s more about the internal struggles than any grand narrative, which can be a bit divisive, but I think that's what makes it stand out.
