Plot
Armand, a 6-year-old boy, is accused of transgressing against his best friend in elementary school. Norway’s official submission in the Best International Feature Film category. in 2025 in the 97th Academy Awards category. I understand why 2024 It won the Camera d’Or at Cannes, but I couldn’t watch the movie halfway through because of the love of my life. A single celebrity mom is summoned to her son’s school by an incompetent teacher-admin duo to discuss an incident involving her son and his friend. It’s a great premise, and Armand caught my attention, as well as the amazing opening shot and overall camera work up until that point. But then it meanders into its own pleasure territory and I still have no idea what the director was going for with the melange of sudden dance sequences and an actor laughing for 3 minutes straight. That’s where it all started, and then the whole thing becomes tiresome, never to recover. (Screened at the 2024 MAMI Mumbai Film Festival.)
