Bertrand is Missing

About This Movie

Bertrand is Missing dives into the raw, often unpolished world of childhood and the unexpected friendships that can spring from it. Set against the backdrop of Paris, this 1986 drama captures the essence of youthful rebellion, loneliness, and the search for connection. The pacing is deliberately slow, allowing viewers to really absorb the moments between Bertrand and Boris, whose oddball chemistry is intriguing. The performances convey a gentle poignancy, especially in how they interact amidst their shared vulnerabilities. It's not flashy, but there's something really striking about the way it handles themes of abandonment and companionship. You feel the grit of the city and the struggles of two misfits trying to find their place.
