Le Cancre is a 2016 French film directed and written by Paul Vecchiali. With this film, Paul Vecchiali shows the story of a man who revisits his past as much as that of a filmmaker who revisits a whole part of French cinema.
The film follows the adversarial relationship between a father and son, both incurably emotional. The father is haunted by the memory of Marguerite, the great love of his youth, and he lives only in the hope of finding her. The son however is somewhat lost in his life, and later takes the measure of his attachment to his grandfather.
The film started shooting on 5 October 2015. [1]
The movie was released in 2016. It was nominated at the Cannes Film Festival in 2016. [2]
