OLIVIER, OLIVIER (1992)

AGNIESZKA HOLLAND

Plot

The disappearance without trace of the pampered nine-year-old son of a middle-class French family causes the break-up of the already stressed out unit. Six years later the truly unexpected happens, a rent-boy appears who claims to be the son, an event that leads to the family starting to rebuild itself. An unusal and dark depiction of family structure and tensions. Excellent.
