«Léolo» is the 1992 drama film by Jean-Claude Lauzon, starring Maxime Collin, Gilbert Sicotte and Ginette Reno, on DVD.
In a poor neighbourhood of Montreal, a boy with an overactive imagination lives with a family he detests and escapes into a dreamlike, surreal world. The boy renames himself Léolo Lozone and fantasises about having been born from the Sun or from a tomato fertilised by an Italian. Adolescent awakening brings him a flood of intense emotions that may keep him away from the madness that stalks him.
Audio in French and Spanish, subtitles in Spanish; 107 min. Not recommended for under-18s. Nominated for the Palme d'Or at Cannes 1992 and winner of the Golden Spike at Valladolid 1992.
For cinephiles who appreciate coming-of-age drama with surrealist elements and the cinema of Jean-Claude Lauzon.
