Movie

One, Two, Three, Sun

1993 · 104 min

A surreal, provocative swirl of bleak comedy and raw tenderness that unsettles as often as it disarms.

Overview: A provocative, seemingly absurd patchwork movie which sends a worthwhile message about hope against all odds, love, children and human understanding. Schoolgirl Victorine has an insane mother and an alcoholic father who can never find his way home in their maze of slum apartment blocks. Aggressive, sexually threatening boys of all ages are everywhere, and while the teacher eventually relents to a gang of adolescent rapists, Victorine gives herself to a rowdy gang of older layabouts, eventually winning the heart of burglar Paul.
How it feels: Absurd, dark, satirical and warm. Measured and demanding.
About: Coming-of-age, politics, love, family
Content: Strong violence, sexual content and language. Mild gore.
Note: Written by AI, so it can be wrong. Full breakdown
