Armand, a 6-year-old boy, is accused of overstepping boundaries with his best friend in elementary school. Norway’s official entry for the Best International Feature Film category at the 97th Academy Awards in 2025. I understand why the film won the Golden Camera at Cannes 2024, but for God’s sake, I couldn’t watch the film halfway through. A single celebrity mother is called to her son’s school by an incompetent teacher-administrator duo to discuss an incident involving her son and his friend. It’s a great premise, and Armand caught my attention thanks to the great opening shot and overall camera work up until that point. But then the film veers into self-abuse territory, and I still have no idea what the director was going for, with a mix of sudden dance scenes and the actor laughing for 3 minutes. That’s where it all started, and it all got so frustrating that you never get over it. (Seen at the MAMI Mumbai Film Festival in 2024)
