In northern France, Gabin, the youngest of the Jourdel family, finds himself destined to take over his father's butcher shop. Torn between family loyalty and a desire to break free, his dreams lie elsewhere: to train a contest cow, to become a dog breeder, and to save his mother's farm from financial ruin. Spanning a decade, GABIN immerses us in this young boy's world, following his journey from age 8 to 18.

Katie McCabe Sight & Sound 1d
The 10-year conceit invites comparisons to Boyhood (2014), but there’s a different kind of intensity to witnessing a real-life coming-of-age, and a natural dramatic tension as Gabin grapples with whether to follow his mother’s path into cattle farming.

Voiseux's film is ultimately a grand family fresco in which issues such as genealogy and inheritance also come into play. [Full review in Spanish] Go to Full Review Read all reviews
