About this product

Product Information

This intensely focused film from brothers Jean-Pierre and Luc Dardenne (LA PROMESSE, ROSETTA) follows Olivier (Olivier Gourmet), a man in mid-life working as a carpentry instructor in a blue collar French suburb. By day he teaches teenage boys how to work with wood. By night he leads a drab, solitary, routine existence. Olivier is a humble Everyman who could easily go unnoticed. However, the jarring sounds of his wood shop--sawing, hammering, slamming boards together--tell a different story, and set the tone for this simple but clearly dread-filled plotline. The camera violates Olivier with its constantly invasive, examining motion. It is behind his ears, up his nose, under his chin, and peering down the collar of his shirt. And as the film rolls, it becomes increasingly evident that Olivier is nervous, edgy, even seething about something deep inside. He develops a fascination with one of the boys in his class and nervously pursues the boy, offering him friendship and advice with a frightening lack of affection. Through forced spurts of dialogue and unexplained actions, Olivier's connection to the boy is slowly and painfully revealed. THE SON meditates on its own static tension, turning suspense into a gripping plotline all its own. Gourmet's performance is pointed and perfect, and it earned the Best Actor award at the Cannes Film Festival in 2002.

    Super seller... everything looked fantastic and of great quality... lightning-quick shipper (and shipped via faster service than "media mail" -- thanks!)... excellent communications... item exactly as described... arrived in the same excellent condition in which it was sent (how could it not as it was packaged inside a box inside a big bubble-mailer -- many thanks for that!!)... thank you much for a good deal on a hard-to-find item!!

    Wanted the book and got the book for a fair price. Listed as 'Like New' but not really that condition. Part of this 'not-like-new' happened in shipping. That is not wholly on the seller. Seems to me like a lot of shipping entities (more and more) are having a hard time getting stuff through their system without damage of some level... books are susceptible (my view).
