Official submission of Norway for the “Best International Feature Film” category of the 97th Academy Awards in 2025

Synopsis

Armand, a 6-year-old boy, is accused of crossing boundaries with his best friend in elementary school.

I can understand why it won the Camera d’Or at Cannes 2024, but for the love of my life I couldn’t keep up with the film halfway through

A single celebrity mother is called to her son’s school by an incompetent teacher and administration duo to discuss an incident involving her son and his friend.

It’s a great premise and Armand had my rapt attention, thanks in part to the fantastic opening shot and all the camerawork up until that point

But then it meanders into self-indulgence and I still have no idea what the director intended, with a mix of abrupt dance sequences and an actor laughing for three minutes straight.

(Seen at MAMI Mumbai Film Festival 2024)

This is where it all started and the whole affair becomes frustrating after that, never to recover.
