A documentary-style fiction, Liz Acocca and Roman Guerret’s first feature film multiplies the tracks without ever cluttering them to deliver crushing emotion.
To film in Boulogne-sur-Mer, the director is looking for his actors in Picasso’s estate. he ends up setting his sights on four kids who are considered the worst in the neighborhood. Very quickly, their doubts and mistakes become involved in the filming and the lives of their characters.
documentary fiction, The worst It’s a rich film, but never cluttered, between an educational story and a behind-the-scenes look at cinema.
Get to know each other better
Does acting help you discover yourself better? Is it reprehensible for a director who manipulates unruly children to get what he needs? Doesn’t pointing out difficult “kids” add stigma? Lise Akoka and Romane Gueret’s first feature film cleverly and subtly raises these questions, never forgetting to let the emotion emerge. Which is depressing in the eyes of Timeo Mahout and Mallory Vanek, budding actors who play, respectively, a hapless child with pent-up rage and a teenager who, haunted by her brother’s disappearance and his reputation, takes him under her wing. A pure wonder, awarded with an award of vague respect at Cannes.
