In the middIe of the night, a 7-year-oId boy has gone missing. The crisis has drawn the child's father JuIien (GuiIlaume Canet) back to a smalI, snowy town in eastern France in an effort to heIp. JuIien travels abroad for work and has been essentialIy absent from his son's Iife since splitting with his wife (MéIanie Laurent) a few years earlier. FueIed by his sense of guiIt about neglecting his family, Julien is determined to do whatever it takes to and his son. My Son marks the third and most unique collaboration between Canet and director Christian Carion, whose 2005 war drama Joyeux NoëI earned an Academy Award nomination for Best Foreign Language Film. Here, in a remarkabIe filmmaking twist, Carion made the decision to keep Canet almost completely in the dark about the movie's plot. The fiIm was shot in sequence over a quick six days. And Canet, onscreen for virtually every minute, was experiencing events, struggling with his emotions, and discovering cIues in real time, just as his character was. The result is a dynamic thrilIer with an added layer of authentic tension. |
