The Wild Boys (2017)
10/10
A masterpiece!
9 February 2020
This is probably my favourite film of the decade. With a handful of short films and only one feature film Mandico has established himself as one of the great masters of cinema.

The Wild Boys is like a classic island adventure for adults. Dark and mysterious and abstract and a visual feast! It belongs up there with Holy Mountain, Daisies, Weekend or Fellini's Casanova.

Art house cinema is alive and well, it seems. This film is a celebration of aesthetics, sexuality and mystery. It is playful, inventive, beautiful and unique, as well as dark and dream-like.

Mandico should make more films. We need him to save the cinema!
