One should not be too critical about the director's second feature.

I really like the camera work of Madiba. As Mr. Shawn pointed out, he had a unique way of looking at things.

However, howcome a 14 year old boy shoot such beautiful images? Remember he has not got any education of any sort. I don't think english is the common tongue in Cape Town ghettos. Worse still, Madiba looks even smaller than his supposed age of 14.

Any way, if you overcome above-mentioned peculiarities, you can watch the film and still enjoy it because of nice camera work.

Although imperfect from a cinematographic point of view, this film is remarkable as it penetrates deep into the lives of suburbia kids in Paris.

All kids are from North Africa. They are boeur, which means arab in their bizarre dialect of french. I really doubt an old french man or woman understand what they are saying without subtitles.

To love someone, to leave someone make deep marks in our souls when we are young.

This sincere and honest film about teenage love should not be missed, if there is any screening available.

If you would like to explore David Fincher, you should start out with this magnificent piece of art work. Even after 9 years the movie seems very fresh to me. Movie's two dichotomous detectives complement each other perfectly. We observe full speed action from Pitt. For Freeman it is always thought before action. He would like to understand this crazy world. Literature might be the key to understanding things. Terrific acting by Freeman, Pitt and Spacey. Having watched Fight Club and Se7en, I won't miss any feature directed by Fincher. He always directs clever movies which brings new questions to your mind. Straight 10/10.
