Movie Description
The friendship and trust that develops rapidly between a 17-year-old homeless boy and a young mother with two children is the basis for Andre Techine's STRAYED. They find each other during a terrifying WWII bombing as they are escaping Paris for the countryside. Yvan (Gaspard Ulliel) is a recluse hiding in the woods. Odile (Emmanuelle Beart) is a widow trying to get her children to safety. Together, the group finds a magical abandoned chateau hidden far back in the forest, and they take shelter there. Settling into a nearly idyllic secret existence as the rest of the world endures the hardships of war, their situation is fairly surreal. Yvan is resourceful and self-sufficient, instantly taking on the role of the man in the family. He hunts for rabbits, delights the children with his youthfulness and curiosity, and even ignites a romantic spark in Odile. But there is always a sense of urgency and doubt, as if the temporary paradise they've stumbled upon will come to a rapid halt and fall into the shadows of some looming dark event. A beautiful film that takes a carpe diem approach to survival--and loving life life--during wartime, STRAYED is rich with substance while also being a visually enjoyable and entertaining film from talented director Techine.

Entertainment Weekly - Lisa Schwarzbaum (05/21/2004)
"Ms. Beart is quietly magnetic."
New York Times - Stephen Holden (05/14/2004)
"[A] film of understated, cumulative power....Techine is the master of subtle shifts in mood, an acute delineator of psychological interplay, and therefore demands the utmost of his actors."
Los Angeles Times - Kevin Thomas (05/21/2004)
"Subtle and understated as ever, Techine handles apocalyptic events with quiet intensity..."
Sight and Sound - Philip Kemp (05/01/2006)
