June 21, 2010 - L'enfant (The Child)

2005 Palme D'or winner at the Cannes Film Festival.

(88) L'enfant (The Child) (2005): One of the best films I've seen in a very long time. Jérémie Renier was as good as ever as the protagonist, Bruno, who is a thief, a hustler, and pretty much a no good person. His girlfriend has a baby that he's only mildly interested in, and he winds up doing some fairly despicable things. I don't want to give this one away. If you haven't seen it, put it high on your list of movies to see, and see soon. I'm certain it was an easy decision for the judges at Cannes in 2005.
