Noordzee, Texas (Sur le chemin des dunes) - Bavo Defurne, 2012
NOORDZEE, TEXAS (2011) dir. Bavo Defurne Pim lives in a run-down house in a dead-end street somewhere on the Flanders coast, together with his mother Yvette Bulteel. Life here smells of cold French fries, cheap cigarettes, vermouth and stale beer. As a kid, Pim dreams of a better life, imagining princesses and beauty queens. But when Pim turns sixteen, he begins dreaming of Gino, the handsome boy next door, instead. (link in title)

A teenage boy's search for love finds him fixated on a boy who lives nearby.
This was a really enjoyable movie for me and I think the performance by the actors was great and convincing, but I still can’t help but feel it to be a bit controversial regarding the characters’ and actors’ age in the movie (they seem so young). I imagine there must have been some commentary about this at the time of the movie’s release...
Rating: 4/5

We could use the money. And he’s rented the room before. Zoltan was just a boy back then. Now he’s a man.
