Synopsis<\/span><\/strong><\/p>\n

Defying his bourgeois, uber-educated family, enigmatic 16-year-old Enzo is determined to become a mason, has enrolled in a trade school, and is apprenticing on a construction site. Feeling lost and pressured by his mathematician father’s constant goading, Enzo is totally unprepared for the feelings that Vlad, a hot Ukrainian coworker, suddenly awakens in him. This poignant coming-of-age tale about class and sexual fluidity was meant to be Laurent Cantet<\/strong>‘s last film. Weakened by cancer, he stepped aside just weeks before shooting began and turned the reins over to his cowriter and longtime collaborator Robin Campillo<\/strong>. Enzo<\/em><\/strong> is a delicate melding of their respective sensibilities.<\/p>\n

Directors’ biographies<\/span><\/strong><\/p>\n

Close friends since their student days, Laurent Cantet<\/strong> and Robin Campillo<\/strong> have shared a keen creative partnership \u2013 co-writing scripts that Cantet directed and Campillo edited \u2013 spanning some 16 years, and including such films as Time Out<\/em> (2001), Heading Sou<\/em>th<\/em> (COLCOA 2006), Foxfire: Confessions of a Girl Gang<\/em> (2012), and the 2008 Palme d\u2019Or winner The Class<\/em>, which also earned the duo a C\u00e9sar Award for Best Adapted Screenplay. Prior to that, Cantet was honored with a C\u00e9sar for Best First Film for Human Resources<\/em> (1999). Campillo has also directed his own films, including They Came Back<\/em> (2004); Eastern Boys<\/em> (2013); his AIDS-epoch box-office hit 120 BMP<\/em>, which won the Cannes’ Grand Prix; and Red Island<\/em> (2023). Sadly, Laurent Cantet died on April 25, 2024. Enzo<\/em><\/strong> premiered as the Opening Film of this year’s Cannes’ Directors’ Fortnight.<\/p>\n[\/vc_column_text][\/vc_column][vc_column width=”1\/2″][mk_image src=”https:\/\/theamericanfrenchfilmfestival.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/09\/screenshot-2025-09-28-at-10.00.31.png” image_size=”full” link=”https:\/\/theamericanfrenchfilmfestival.org\/win-a-trip-to-paris\/” target=”_blank” align=”center”][mk_image src=”https:\/\/theamericanfrenchfilmfestival.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/09\/enzo.jpg” image_size=”full” frame_style=”gray_border” align=”center”][\/vc_column][\/vc_row][vc_row][vc_column][vc_column_text]\n[\/vc_column_text][\/vc_column][\/vc_row]\n<\/div>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
