Armand
Directed by Halfdan Ullmann Tøndel1h 56m2024
Armand, a 6-year-old boy, is accused of crossing boundaries against his best friend at elementary school. While no one knows what actually happened between the two boys, the incident triggers a series of events, forcing parents and school staff into a captivating battle of redemption where madness, desire and obsession arise.
Our read: Armand (2024) reads as a sombre, measured, inventive drama entry — measured in intensity, intimate in scope, cold in temperature, nihilistic in outlook.
Sombre, measured, measured drama, inventive in texture. Nihilistic, intimate, cold.
