The Board, Monthly speaking at Concordia University, Montreal
Theme Issue: Disease modern
His brother
France, 95 minutes, 2003
July. Sitting on a park bench beside the sea, an old man talking with two young men, one alive, the other close to death. It tells the story of their missing off, removed by force from the water.
Mars. Flashback: Thomas knocked on the door of Luke, his brother, after years without contact. He tells her that death awaits him, he needs help. Thomas suffers from a rare condition. His blood does not have enough platelets, these bricks that clog holes in the skin. Each life-threatening hemorrhage. Begins searching for a cure for sore Thomas. His stay in hospital is increasing. In his room, is a succession of parents who sometimes speak little, sometimes too much, a love-to-end nerve, and still is Luke, a brother who watches over another. After some months, the medicine does not always cure. It maintains that life. The body of Thomas still supports, but his head hurts.
July, again. Starting to live a little longer, survive. Thomas and Luke would go to the beach for one last trip when the current does not forgive, the waves hide the bodies lost.
director Patrice Chereau soberly weaves a drama erupted at the time, sometimes bordering on the melodramatic, which moves in the truth of the game by Bruno Todeschini Thomas and Eric Caravaca in Luke amaze by their accuracy.
aka White Fang is a wolf-ing plane ...
