The Son of the Shark
The Son of the Shark ★★ Le Fils du Requin 1993
Simon (Da Silva) and Martin Vanderhoes (Vandendaele) have been abandoned by their mother and prefer to live as homeless delinquents rather than with their drunken father. The boys commit petty crimes and vandalism to survive (always escaping from foster homes and institutions) while Martin dreams of running away to his true home in the ocean—proclaiming himself to be “the son of a female shark.” Depressing and casually cruel; based on a true story. French with subtitles. 88m/C VHS . FR Ludovic Vandendaele, Erick Da Silva, Sandrine Blancke, Maxime LeRoux; D: Agnes Merlet; W: Agnes Merlet; C: Gerard Simon; M: Bruno Coulais.
