Dutch filmmaker Mischa
Kamp’s film festival winner, Boys, will see its domestic DVD
debut courtesy of Wolfe on Feb. 3.
Sieger (Gijs Blom — Sonny
Boy, YOLO: You Only Live Once, etc.) is 15 and in love. He’s training hard for a forthcoming track
competition and has little time for local beauty, Jessica (Lotte Razoux
Schultz), but that might simply be an excuse.
It seems that fellow
runner and relay teammate, Marc (Ko Zandvliet), has stirred feelings within him
that he hasn’t quite come to terms with.
He’s more outgoing and may or may not feel exactly the same way that the
more sensitive Sieger does … and therein lies the rub. They train, there is the tranquil beauty of
the Dutch countryside and these coming-of-age feelings are hard to
contain.
Kamp’s Boys
is a lyrical work that doesn’t push, but takes its time — coupled with
outstanding visuals — in exploring the mixed-feelings of two young men on the
verge of discovering who they are.
Presented in Dutch with English subtitles.
