Édouard Louis - Quem Matou o Meu Pai
15.45€
With a passionate and urgent voice, Édouard Louis narrates his return to his hometown, an ugly and gray place in one of the poorest regions of France, and to his father's house. It is a return to a childhood haunted by violence, homophobia, and shame, but also an attempt at reconciliation with this painful past, materialized in a domineering paternal figure, now physically diminished, fragile, and exposed.
A moving account of the possible reunion between father and son, evocative of Franz Kafka's Letter to His Father, Who Killed My Father represents the gesture that seeks forgiveness and also the cry of denunciation of a social chasm that has devoured France for decades, pointing the finger at political power, at that privileged caste, truly responsible for condemning the most disadvantaged classes to an early death.
