The last film screened at the Main Competition, Mother and Son (I pretty much prefer its French title better: un petit frere) takes a look to a African-French family as they migrated from Ivory Coast to France in the 80s.

Amazing! This film caught me off guard! It completely breaks out of form, It has eye-popping visuals and surreal theme and plot, indeed the film is not at all about plot (the main character even has very few dialogue). It's one of those film that come along to remind how different and innovative art can be. Particularly loved the first part, the final part is solid too. (In fact watch the whole film)
If you wanna watch it, expect it'd be very different, relax and let all the visuals and eerie theme wash over you.
