interesting low-buget indie film
A 'coming of age' movie about a teenager who is given a video camera. He begins to obsessively video everything around him but in the process emotionally distances himself from everyone and starts to discover and question he's own sexuallity. It's not a 'great' film, the in-experience of the actors & low buget show through, but I enjoyed it more as I got into. There's alot of views through the camera, jerky movement, odd angles, crude edits , which unfortunately become irritating by the end. A film for those who like foreign indie low-buget risk taking films. dvd includes an audio commentary by the two co-writers, co-directors.

Lowkey coming of age story
Yes the film IS glacially slow as other reviewers point out, and not at all what I expected from the upbeat trailer I saw with another film, but I enjoyed its quiet simplicity and authentic feel. Jimmy Tavares is outstanding as Etienne so it's worth watching for his performance alone. It convinced me as a film about sexual awakening, the beginning of desire. Etienne makes his video diary because it's the only way he has to articulate feelings he he doesn't understand. Tension builds slowly to a climax that doesn't end as you expect, though I would've liked the story to continue just a little bit longer.
