Did you know they still have punk rockers in France? In 'Punk' a young garçon spends time with a bunch of them as a way of putting distance between himself and his slovenly mother (Béatrice Dalle, who looks more like a Los Bros Hernandez drawing each time I see her). But does he really fit in with the anarchic crowd? And is his relationship with his mother really that bad? The characters, and the situations they are in, are not black and white and that adds to the film's believability. But at the same time there seems little point to it; the main character stumbles from one situation to another while the viewer looks for the beginning, middle and end. I would have appreciated a bit more structuring. But that said, I would watch the film again - and that's got to be a mark of success!
