Thirteen-year-olds Leo and Remi, still joyously dancing in the light of boyhood, are on the precipice of change. Distilled through the trials of growing up, we find love—an elemental force that creates as effectively as it destroys—at its most pure and painful. Lukas Dhont’s second feature film is a visceral cinematic accomplishment, one that garnered him the Grand Prix at the 2022 Cannes Film Festival. Courtesy A24
