Written and directed by Jean-Claude Lauzon.
We decided to try this French-Canadian film based on a recommendation by a friend. It is a strange and bizarre ride. It took me two days to finish it, and by the end, I wasn't certain I was any better off than before I started. It was difficult to discern any type of chronological or even sequential storyline. There is a boy, Léolo, as the main character, who seems to escape from his strange and quirky family by his secretive hobby of writing. About the only really memorable characteristic of Léolo is that he believes that his mother was impregnated accidentally by the sperm of an Italian when she falls into a cart of tomatoes. Thus he really is not a Canadion named Leo, but an Italian named Léolo Lozone. There are some slightly humorous sequences, but overall this movie is difficult to enjoy over the entire hour and 40 minutes.
