5.0 out of 5 starsLeolo
By M. J. King on 5 Nov. 2009
Format: DVD Verified Purchase
This strange and highly unusual film, with its startling impressionistic camera work,combines gritty down to earth reality with fantasy and imagination, to stunning and often shocking effect. The film centres on the eponymous Leolo, a lonely and sensitive 12 year old boy living in a Montreal slum with his dysfuncional and damaged family. Desperately trying to hold on to his sanity, he finds solace in his daydreams and he outlines his feelings. hopes and desires in a notebook, which also contains some very candid observations about his life and about the people around him. It is this notebook, narrated in a series of flashbacks, that forms the basis of Leolo's story. Despite many humourous episodes, the general tone of the film is dark and surreal. As Leolo gradually spirals deeper into the abyss, one senses an atmosphere of impending doom, fully realised in the harrowing and heartbreaking finale. This film won't appeal to everyone as its not exactly light entertainment, but love it or hate it, you won't easily forget it! It will make an impression on you and that, as they sat, is the mark of a good movie.

5.0 out of 5 starsvisionary and disturbing
By schumann_bg TOP 50 REVIEWER on 3 Nov. 2013
Format: DVD
Leolo is a visionary film, one that completely fulfils the primary definition of film as a moving image, for it is above all a dazzling montage of images of the most intense kind. It is not always easy to watch, but holds your interest for its sheer visual poetry, even if much of its meaning remains obscure. Leolo, the main character, often repeats in a voice-over from much later in his life, given in a basso profundo in Canadian French: `I dream; I am not'. Everything that follows mixes dream and reality in such a way that they blur into each other. Nothing is quite real, yet everything illustrates a deeper current in life. Thus the main character's brother, Fernand, goes from being a bullied 16-year-old to a built hunk overnight, while Leo remains the same, but his brother, to whom he is very close, still cannot face his tormentor, muscles or no muscles. He ends up lying on the ground by the rubbish bins crying as his young brother leans over him consolingly, like a strangely re-configured Pieta. Leo falls in love with a young woman in a neighbouring flat who presumably exists, but may not. But one is compelled by the conviction of the images that are never less than striking, and often unforgettable, like the above. It is the study of one dysfunctional family, but it takes a much more extreme stylistic stance than Mike Leigh, and is quite sexually graphic, not to say perverse, by implication, which is particularly bold given the young age of the protagonist. To say too much is likely to put potential viewers off, but really it is a film which casts a spell with its deep male choral singing on the soundtrack and saturated light, with stark contrasts. It is set in a poor area but there is not a mundane shot in the whole film. It literally glows with the fierce imagination of the director Jean-Claude Lauzon, and it is small wonder that it was shortlisted for the Palme d'Or at Cannes. It was no doubt considered too left-of-field even for that admirably boundary-pushing context.

4.0 out of 5 starsLeolo,aka the tamer and the dreamer
By Sybronic on 12 Mar. 2015
Format: DVD
Leolo, is one of the most harrowing films I have ever watched.. If courage or stupidity was ever needed in the little boys life, he had both. I'd say the lad never stood a chance, he was made for the loonie bin from day one. It was so sad but so like the typical slum schools in the 50's and 60s. Teacher take their pay checks for just being there. I was very annoyed at The Tamer, He knew but did nothing, which is worse in my book It was so disturbing and strangely funny at times. I will watch it again as there was so much to take in. Perhaps the director, should have made better choices in how he told the story One thing stood out, his lack of sexual understanding of young boys. I have never seen that happen in my life or even thought anyone could have even tried it out. A piece of raw liver as a vagina I'm , sorry,not believable
There are just so many talking points to recall, I suggest you buy it, it's worth the time and money. Is it entertainment, no but it's an eye opener to the sordid world of child poverty and how your family can kill you One last thing, remember to dream

5.0 out of 5 starsIt is about the harsh side of life of a poor family living in Montreal
By John on 14 Aug. 2015
Format: DVD Verified Purchase
This French-Canadian is a classic that once you see it you will never forget it. It is about the harsh side of life of a poor family living in Montreal. It is hard to watch at times but is very down to earth and shows the result of solvent abuse can do something that teenagers should be aware. What lifts this film from its seriousness is the music which I have never heard any better in a film. Sadly, the director is no longer with us You will get this one with English subtitles suitable only for teenagers upwards.
