About ARMAND 15 ANS L’ÉTÉ. Blaise Harrison (interview).

France 2011. 50’.
Directed by: Blaise Harrison.

Armand is a plump boy, but his movements are not clumsy. He does not feel uncomfortable
with his body, nor with his peers. A strongly developed feminine side allows him to share the emotions and feelings of a summer holiday with other girls. Far from clichés, the author
starts from Gus Van Sant and Larry Clark to play with American aesthetics and overturn its principles: at 15 years of age a summer in Southern France has the sound of crickets, of text messages and of fireworks as its soundtrack.
