Disintegration (The)

DESINTEGRATION (LA)

a film by :Philippe Faucon

A housing project in the Lille urban area, Northern France, today. Three twenty year old friends, Ali, Nasser and Hamza, meet Djamel, who is ten years older. In the eyes of Ali and his friends, Djamel appears like an elder brother with a shrewd outlook and undeniable charisma. A skilled manipulator, he gradually indoctrinates the three boys. More than anyone, he knows their disappointments, weaknesses and feeling of rebellion against the society in which they were born but in which they no longer feel they belong.

French Synopsis :

Une cité dans l’agglomération Lilloise, aujourd’hui. Ali, Nasser et Hamza, âgés d’une vingtaine d’années, font la connaissance de Djamel, dix ans de plus qu’eux. Aux yeux d’Ali et ses amis, Djamel apparaît comme un aîné aux propos acérés et au charisme certain. Habile manipulateur, il endoctrine peu à peu les trois garçons, connaissant mieux que quiconque leurs déceptions, leurs failles et leurs révoltes face à une société dans laquelle ils sont nés, mais dont aucun des trois ne pense plus désormais faire partie.
