Product Description

Product Description

Coming-of-age tale by French director Lionel Baier. Pierre Chatagny stars as Loic, a confused yet sexually liberated young man who divides his time between working in a factory and engaging in random - often paid - sexual encounters with an assortment of men he meets on the internet. However, a developing obsession with his best friend Marie (Natacha Koutchoumov), a non-sexual relationship with the enigmatic Lionel (Rui Pedro Alves), and his lust for a famous footballer whose star is falling, all conspire to drive Loc to the edge of sanity.

4.0 out of 5 starsRaw, brutal and strangely sensitive
By Kurt Clare on 29 Sept. 2009
Format: DVD
If you love French cinema then you will love this film. Garcon Stupide rejects the sweet enhancements endemic to Hollywood, and rather explores the cold, raw brutality of youth struggling to find both purpose and identity. People can indeed be stupid at times, and monumentally so. This film seeks to portray that as it really is.

The main characters are brutally honest in their interactions with each other. One is not quite sure whether there is more hate than love between them, as they seem more determined to hurt each other with their honesty which rips apart any veneer that seeks to hide the truth. Yet they have a undeniable connection which is both sincere and real in its affection, and whilst their honesty is brutal at times its motivation is not.

The impact of one characters suicide ripples throughout the film, exposing the main character to a sea of emotions which he seems incapable of understanding. His decent into a dark world of casual intimacies and self-destruction is made self-evident, as he is forced to address his demons and realise that the innocence of youth must make way for the experience that comes with being responsible.

3.0 out of 5 starsCurate's egg - intriguing but not sure it comes off
By Dan Filson on 19 May 2011
Format: DVD Verified Purchase
Spoiler alert - this review contains spoilers.

The limited reviews should have warned me - this is a strange film about Loic (the handsome Pierre Chatagny) aged 18, who works at a crushingly dull factory job (don't ask!), spending his spare time in two ways. Either he's meeting older men in dates made online for gay sex; possibly for money, though this isn't made clear, but he sports a fetching new sweater at one stage which looks bought on the proceeds. Alternatively, he's mooching around at the flat of friend Marie with whom he has an asexual frank relationship (he tells her of his encounters, characterised by his determination for them to be brisk - he doesn't understand affection or tenderness). Why she stands him is a puzzle - he also visits at her museum workplace, moping beside her as she tries to work.

Loic is dim, it has to be said, but he has a book Pleasure with Words and uses a dictionary to find out what words mean that he has not previously met. However, he doesn't quite grasp the meanings correctly. At one stage, he describes his photography as impressionist; the one thing photography can hardly ever be.

We see Loic meet one date Lionel who apparently is not interested in sexual activity but instead talks; though later Loic is disappointed when Lionel tries to drag him into a toilet cubicle, revealing himself to be no more than any other punter. We see Marie meeting a bespectacled young man and having a life outside of her morose pal. Loic uses his mobile phone as a camera. Encouraged to look about him more, he becomes a bit of a voyeur.

This is where the film becomes complex - is it a dream sequence where he holds a knife next to the sleeping couple, Marie and her friend? The knife certainly looms big on screen.Read more ›

4.0 out of 5 starsA gem of a movie
By AJM on 25 July 2007
Format: DVD Verified Purchase
This is a movie that manages to combine art house with sexy, following the self discovery of a young man about what it means to really be alive. It also has a certain enigma about it... probably becasue you are trying to figure out if the main character is as the title suggests, a bit dim, or a (typical) male who thinks and sees the world in black and white, but them discovers there are shades of grey. Worth a look.

4.0 out of 5 starsGreat story let down by the ending
By Tasmanian Devil on 22 Aug. 2011
Format: DVD Verified Purchase
Garçon stupide (Stupid Boy) is touted as a Swiss coming-of-age flick. "Coming-of-age", though, is a little too glib a handle for what is a story about a young man coming to the realisation of how he affects those around him, and how they affect him.

The first positive to comment on is the novel use of a hidden character in the movie - a person who is not revealed (visually) until the end of the film. It made for an interesting juxtaposition to the straight to camera action for the rest of the movie.

The main character Loïc (played by the quite beautiful Pierre Chatagny) has issues, and his coming to terms with them is what the film is about. The latter part of the movie where he has an infatuation with a soccer star, I found less believable, and the conclusions the main character drew from a meeting with the star are hard to swallow.

Nonetheless, this is a good production with central characters that you come to feel for.

2.0 out of 5 starsFilm stupide
By JOSEPH OLIVER on 13 Jun. 2011
Format: DVD
Not a terribly interesting film - even if you manage to purchase it at a rock bottom price as I did. It's a bit like watching a car crash. You know what they are trying to achieve but fail to do it. Stupid youth wants to develop himself but too dumb to do so. The film just goes nowhere. He doesn't develop. He's as dumb at the end as at the beginning. Just buying a camcorder to become a 'photographer' does not make anyone a different person. The main actor is not particularly interesting either and he is difficult to take any interest in. It's a bit of an endurance test just watching it. It's low budget and clearly so.
