WILD BOY

Wild Boy is part of this critical reappraisal enterprise around the myths of modernity. Here, this is a false-bottomed work and even more than that : a new, sardonic rendering of The Wild Child by François Truffaut with a dash of Robinson Crusoe. Here, his son Amir reinvents a wild life in a transformed kitchen where various animals live : we are at the acid crossroads of the instilled childhood universe and of the conquering spirit. (NF)
