This is a very impressive movie with very impressive acting from most actors. Olivier Tuinier gives definately the most impressive performance of his career so far. He stars as a teenager who has completely lost touch with everything since the death of his mother. He has developed a very unhealthy fascination for death and morbidity and that starts to develop in even more dangerous ways when he meets a girl, who refuses to tell him her name. When she eventually tells him she admires Joan of Arc, he suggests that she should also be burned to really connect with her heroin. This gets really out of hand. I would highly recommend this movie to anyone. It really shows how children can react to important things that happen in their lives and also how blind parents can be to their problems. In this case the boy's father knows his son is struggling with his mother's death, but does not see how serious and dangerous the situation is, until it is almost too late for his son and definately too late for his son's friend...
