Unflinching and harshly poetic, PRETTY BOY chronicles a 13-year-old runaway coming-of-age as a Copenhagen street hustler. Danish director Carsten Sonder's first feature is a compelling, in-your-face exploration of innocence plundered and lost.
Alienated by his mother, Nick flees his dysfunctional home. Fatherless, he actively seeks out the companionship of older men. A closeted middle-age astronomer treats Nick kindly and allows him a place of temporary refuge. Adopted by a band of violent street hustlers, Nick finds refuge again -- and unexpected first love. Led by an androygnous girl who masquerades as a boy, Nick and his gang friends engage in vengeful acts of excalating physical violence leading to a manipulated, tragic and irrevocable gutwrenching conclusion.
Riveting and unforgettable, Christian Tafdrup's portrayal of the troubled Nick is deft and multi-layered, a haunting mix of vulnerability and sadistic street smart. Tightly scripted, crisply edited and exquisitely photographed. Ranks among the most powerful exploration of teen prostituion ever rendered on film. | |
