Les garçons sauvages
The Wild Boys
Wie eine Gemme aus dem unendlichen All, zur Erde geschossen von einer schöneren, besseren Welt, funkelt Bertrand Mandicos elementar gefährliche Fantasie vor einem: Anfang des 20. Jahrhunderts werden die Titel gebenden wilden Jungs zwecks Domestikation ihrer adoleszenten Gefühle auf eine Galeere geladen und auf eine geheimnisvolle Insel mit üppiger (und übernatürlicher) Vegetation gebracht. Spuren von Jean Genet, Kenneth Anger und Guy Maddin tanzen durch diesen profund unwirklichen, irre flirrenden Film, in dem alles, auch die Geschlechter, im unentwegten Fluss sind. Das ganze Leben, eine einzige Ekstase.(Markus Keuschnigg)
"Les Garçons Sauvages is a fucking intoxicating miracle of a film: a weird, erotic coming-of-age fantasy adventure that probes dark, dank regions of the human psyche without getting too uncomfortable to watch. Like an inverted Lord of the Flies, where the stu- dents start out as monsters and are reformed by an island's curious magic, it tells a story that feels new and very much of the present, in a way that feels tangibly like a pleasurable hallucination from a forgotten era. Sure blew me the fuck away." (Andrew Todd, Birth.Movies.Death)
