Episode 112: Gentle Monster
French cinema is truly something else. Tina finds deeper meaning in even the most mundane task shown in a scene, while Stratis can’t find any art in a film about a father who is a pedophile. Gentle Monster is a profile of a troubled German couple who are working through the fact that the father is a child predator, while the police never seem to put the young boy’s safety first. To say it’s not a feel-good movie is an understatement. Our discussion tries to make sense of what we saw, but at least one of us isn’t convinced this movie needs to exist. Vive la France!
