Complicated life in a rough neighbourhood

Yuri lives in the housing complex Gagarine. It's a run down place where people know each other and look out for one another. Yuri cares about the houses and does everything he can to make them liveable, for everyone. His mission is to save them from demolition.

This is a movie about a young boy fighting to keep his world. It's about being outside the society, love and friendship. It's also about dreams and finding purpose with your own solutions. I really enjoyed it.

The ghetto with poetry instead of drug traffic

I like this movie, made with a great sensitivity and accuracy, a good knowledge of the suburbs and pulled by directing skills from this young couple of film makers; a man and a woman. It is not exactly a drama, but more an analysis of the suburb and ghettos population's way of life. I felt close to those youngsters, though I have never lived what they feel. It's not LA HAINE nor LES MISERABLES, but it belongs to the same kind of social movies, not as gloomy as a Ken Loach. And for once, ghetto is evoked without drug traffic, only some weed use during a party between young folks. I definitely love this feature though this kind of picture is not necessarily my cup of tea. But the sad tone, not gloomy, sad, enchants me.

Aims high - and almost gets there....

French cinema usually excels with this sort of, gritty, poverty-stricken story, and here Fanny Liatard and Jérémy Trouilh have done well to put a new spin on an established theme. Teenagers Alseni Bathily ("Youri") and his friend "Houssam" (Jamil McCraven) are desperately trying to keep their dilapidated housing complex up and running, cannibalising just about anything they can find just to keep the lights on and the lifts working. They encounter the helpful "Diana" (Lyna Khoudri) and for a while they just about manage to keep their ship afloat. Until, that is, the local authorities decide the thing is just a deathtrap and they must all relocate... What's new? Well young "Youri" has pretty much been abandoned by his mother, so the building is not just his home, it is very much his raison d'être. It was opened by the renowned cosmonaut Yuri Gagarin, and this inspired in the young man many years later a fascination with the stars, with space - and as the end nears for his home, we enter a realm of fantasy allegorical to his impending homelessness that is both poignant and engaging. The performance from this young man is attractive - despite the relative grimness of his surroundings and the indifference of just about everyone around him, he retains a sense of decency, of optimism - and yes, even a little sense romance too. It's not without it's humour either - a would-be astronaut with vertigo - and though the end is maybe just a little surreal, this film is well worth a watch,
