Chico

About This Movie

Chico, directed by an unknown visionary, is a quirky exploration of love and desire wrapped in a chaotic quest. Our protagonist, Jojo, is this endearing, bumbling young gay squatter, and it's a real treat to watch him navigate the streets of Brussels with a mix of hope and clumsiness. The pacing feels frantic yet oddly charming, capturing that youthful rush when you're trying to impress someone. The film dives into themes of aspiration and vulnerability, showcasing the awkwardness of unrequited affection. The performances bring a raw authenticity, especially Jojo’s, which balances humor with heart. It’s a refreshing take on urban life with a backdrop of practical effects that ground the narrative in reality, making the whole experience feel very personal.
