The Kid With A Bike

Dangerous liasons...Cécile de France..Thomas Doret..The Kid With A Bike

The Kid With A Bike is a heart-warming powerful piece of cinema that makes the audience think about their parents. It follows the life of Cyril, a disturbed young boy, living in foster care looking for his father who left a month prior to the film and a missing bike. He meets Samantha  (de France), a kindly hairdresser who retrieves his bike. Cyril takes a shining to her and soon Samantha fosters Cyril for weekends only. One weekend, Cyril meets "The Dealer," a shady crook who enlists Cyril to commit a robbery. It's touching and the scene where Cyril's father abandons him, is very sad and heart-wrenching. The shots go on for too long and it feels a little stretched but still a very good film.
