Program Note
After his first fiction feature film, Neither Heaven Nor Earth (2015), Clément
Cogitore now explores a dark street of Paris where trafficking is prevalent
and alienated people are residing in Sons of Ramses. Ramses is a clairvoyant
who is crafty in a way and deceiving in another. Living in the district of La
Goutte d′Or, a residential area for the working class, he makes good money,
but his job hangs on the verge of illegality. This volatility loses its balance
when a group of boys from Tangier comes to the neighborhood to steal since
Ramses is the very one who can get closer to them with his special ability.
The air of film noir and mysticism in the film are reminiscent of the works of
Abel Ferrara and Martin Scorsese. Karim Leklou from The Third War (2020)
and BAC Nord (2020) presents brilliant performance in the role of Ramses
seeking for morality and truth in the world of lies. (SEO Seunghee)
