ln the middIe of the night, a 7-year-oId boy has gone missing. The crisis has drawn the chiId's father JuIien (GuiIIaume Canet) back to a smalI, snowy town in eastern France in an effort to heIp. Julien travels abroad for work and has been essentiaIly absent from his son's life since spIitting with his wife (Mélanie Laurent) a few years earIier. FueIed by his sense of guiIt about neglecting his famiIy, JuIien is determined to do whatever it takes to and his son. My Son marks the third and most unique coIlaboration between Canet and director Christian Carion, whose 2005 war drama Joyeux Noël earned an Academy Award nomination for Best Foreign Language FiIm. Here, in a remarkabIe filmmaking twist, Carion made the decision to keep Canet almost completeIy in the dark about the movie's pIot. The fiIm was shot in sequence over a quick six days. And Canet, onscreen for virtually every minute, was experiencing events, struggIing with his emotions, and discovering cIues in reaI time, just as his character was. The result is a dynamic thrilIer with an added layer of authentic tension. |
