Armand 2024 HDRip.HC Download via Torrent
Narrative
Armand, a 6-year-old boy, is accused of crossing the line with his best friend at elementary school. Norway’s official entry for the “Best International Feature Film” category at the 97th Academy Awards in 2025. I understand why the film won the Camera d’Or at Cannes 2024, but oh my god, I couldn’t watch the film halfway through. An incompetent teacher-administrator duo calls a single celebrity mother to her son’s school to discuss an incident involving her son and his boyfriend. It’s a great premise and Armand kept me interested, thanks in part to the great opening shot and overall camera work so far. But then the film veers into self-deprecating territory and I still have no idea what the director was up to, with a mix of sudden dance sequences and an actor laughing for 3 minutes straight. That’s where it all started, and it all started to get so frustrating that you never get up from it. (Screened at MAMI Mumbai Film Festival 2024)
