Le fils (The Son)

This movie asks me to explore the capacity of the human heart. 

There are no directions or explanations, just the camera following closely, frenetically, almost afraid to miss something. I'm carried alongside, observing. 

In the end, without knowing the how, I am satisfied with what can be. It such a simply told story, but then again, not at all. 

I don't know anything about Olivier Gourmet (I do like his name!), but I'm not sure how many other actors could believably pull this off.
