Review of René (2008) by Patrick S — 23 Mar 2009

An interesting look at the life of a petty thief who seems committed to being committed. The misspelling of his neck tattoo, fuck of people, is actually appropriate when you think about it. Helena Trestikova, the director, has made a film that is engaging, though her decision to loan René a Handycam near the end shows surprisingly bad judgment considering the fact that her subject had no qualms about burgling her apartment.

Worth watching.
