Charly 2007
1h 35min | Drama | 12 September 2007 (France)
User review:
Discovering sweet little gems is what makes film festivals so exciting to attend. Unfortunately, they are few and far between. Here, at the 2008 Tribeca Film Festival, there was one from France in Isild De Besco’s “Charly.” Nicolas is a listless, awkward 14-year-old whose life is a totally blank canvas. There’s simply nothing there. After embarking on a journey to an island he’s only seen on a postcard, he runs into Charly, a young woman who lives in a trailer, working at night and spending her days performing obsessive-compulsive homemaking rituals. The two forge a most unlikely friendship, although it takes quite some time for Nicolas to wake up from his stupor. When he finally smiles the audience breathes a sigh of relief — yes, there is life after all.
