Review of Dheepan (2015) by André G — 16 May 2016
A powerful drama that humanizes the refugee experience and explores themes of free will and circumstance, all leading up to an incredibly powerful climax. It's a relevant, politically minded film, but a universal story above all else thanks to Audiard's emotionally motivated direction.
The two lead actors as well as Vincent Rottiers give quiet, perfect performances. Nicholas Jaar's ambient score is also beautiful and worthy of mention as a fan of his music. I'd say the Palme D'or was well deserved.
5/5.
