David Douche never became a movie star. He returned to Bailleul. He gave one more stunning performance in Dumont’s L’Humanité (as the murdered boy’s boyfriend) and then vanished. That silence is part of the film’s power. He was not an actor performing a cycle of violence; he was a local boy passing through a nightmare. The DVDRIP preserves his ghost.
La Vie de Jésus is a stark, unsettling debut that announces Bruno Dumont as a filmmaker with a singular, uncompromising eye. Set in a depressed mining town in northern France, the film follows the aimless, volatile teenage protagonist, Freddy, and a small circle of acquaintances through a series of bleak, often Brutalist episodes that build toward a shocking act of violence.
