Dir.: Stéphane Demoustier
France, Belgium
2018 | 61 min.
Comedy, drama, family film
Three-and-a-half-year-old Cléo is brilliant at hide-and-seek: her brother Paul and their nanny have no chance of finding her. At some point Cléo herself no longer knows which route she took through the park. Suddenly there are strangers everywhere. They’re hunting Pokémons and none of them really notice her. So Cléo decides to stick with the woman who looks just as lost as she is, and together they explore their worlds anew. Paul, too, gains new perspectives when he finds himself alone among the other children: he discovers what Paris is like when one is out and about without adults. “Cléo& Paul” is an incredibly cinematic, quiet, and raw film, told observationally through the eyes of two young children, who are captivating to watch, and real-life siblings.
Stéphane Demoustier after several short films made his feature debut with Terre battue which screened at the 2014 Venice International Film Festival. In 2008 he founded Année Zéro, the production company with which he made “Cleo & Paul”. In 2018 “Cleo & Paul” was nominated for the Crystal Bear and won the Special Mention of the Generation 14plus International Jury at Berlin International Film Festival.
