Guardianship reveals the death of a native French family: when returning home becomes a "game of death"

The French feature film Guardian, which has won 21 international awards and 27 nominations for best director and best debut at the Venice Film Festival, will be released on June 21 at the National Art Film Screening Alliance. With the family story as the core, the film integrates suspense elements and tells a divorced couple who stage a "death tug-of-war" to compete for custody of their son. Through the transformation and editing of the camera, the film makes the suspense atmosphere progressively, elevating the family dispute to the level of "war", the sense of fear is approaching step by step, and the atmosphere of grass and trees is suffocating.

The reputation of excellent masterpiece art is also to directly expose the death of the original family

French director Xavier Legrand became famous for his directorial debut, winning two awards at the 74th Venice Film Festival, the Silver Lion for Best Director and the Future Lion for Best Debut. The film has also received 21 international awards and 27 nominations, including the Best Picture Award at the 44th César Film Awards in France. The film focuses on the tragedy of the original family, and explores social topics such as child custody, family education, family affection, and domestic violence that have attracted more and more attention in recent years. The filming method of "Guardianship" is extremely special, and the director who is a theater actor uses the tension of the stage play, with amazing rhythm control and close to the genre film, showing these originally heavy social topics step by step, and is praised as "inheriting hitchcock's mantle". There are no bloody and violent pictures in the whole film, but the tense and suffocating shadows run through the whole process, and the reversal of the plot is even more worrying. Perhaps after watching the movie, you can deeply feel the fear and helplessness that the pain of the original family brings to the child's life, just like the fist that has never fallen, which is heart-wrenching.

When coming home turned into a "game of death" the low-pressure tension shuddered

With the release of the materials of the first poster and trailer, the "guardianship battle" staged in the movie for the custody of the child was also officially launched. In the poster, the parents sit side by side, facing each other in front of the judge, and the atmosphere is solemn. The trailer is high-energy stepping, the tension and oppression are aggressive, and the father faces the violent threat of the child and the mother with severe accusations. "Who the hell is lying?" The plot contrasts are elusive. A bullet-pierced door was separated by a sigh of horror from her mother. How much pain does a custody battle for a broken family bring? The suspense is about to be revealed!

Netizens have said, "This trailer is nervous enough", "scared to see", "looking forward to the release of the film". The film tells the story of a mother and son who fight under the shadow of domestic violence. Julian, a 12-year-old boy who was awarded joint custody by the court after his parents divorced, lived with his mother on weekends. His father's seemingly sincere concern for him and his almost morbid surveillance mingled, leaving neither Julian nor his mother at peace, and a chilling family "game of death" unfolded.

In June, the dark horse jia film rose again and set off a huge wave, and all sectors of society concentrated on the common pain of the world

"Guardianship" is known as "the best French social theme film in recent years", and will also be released as an important work of the "New Wave" series of the National Arts Federation, once again providing a superior work for domestic audiences.

Previously, "Guardianship" was specially screened at the 9th Beijing International Film Festival, and the screening site was full, and director Xavier Legrand also came to the scene to conduct in-depth exchanges and discussions with Chinese film fans on the family issues and social topics reflected in the film, calling for "children to live in love and care". The director describes himself, dedicating his first film to mothers and children who struggle in the boundless darkness and fight with their lives every day to the light.

During the meeting, the film's Chinese promotion ambassadors, actress Tao Hong, and musician Cheng Lin, stood for the film and expressed their love and support for the film with the director. Actor Feng Yuanzheng has also recently joined the ranks of the film's promotion ambassadors and actively advocated for anti-domestic violence. The film is also very good on major rating websites, with a freshness rating of 94% on Rotten Tomatoes, and has received praise from all parties after the North Film Festival. I hope that when the film is released in China, more audiences can be touched and dare to face this "unspeakable" theme of "family ugliness", boldly say "no" to violence, and make home a warm harbor.
