In this case, it's worth noting that if "La Haine" interested you, then.... Bruno (Vincent Gasperitsch) is violent because his father is angry and Bruno's father is violent because he was in the war. And the war broke out because violent fathers sent their children there. That's what this banlieue drama is about, in which 13-year-old Bruno is accepted into a circle of kids, into their world of mopeds, guns and blow jobs. In French cinema, such coming-of-age dramas have a tradition. Jean Vigo or Francois Truffaut told stories of kids who went off the rails. Jean-Claude Brisseau now expands the genre in a wild, eccentric mix of avant-garde and exploitation. The concrete landscapes of the banlieue take on apocalyptic overtones, cars burst into flames and Molotov cocktails smash from the top floors. Bruno experiences softerotic daydreams in which an angel appears to him as a mother substitute. Everything is heightened and alienated - almost as compulsively as Bruno's rage. Sound And Fury thus evolves from banlieue drama to surrealist comedy. Nothing is more terrible than childhood!
