Les Apaches
by Thierry de Peretti
Hors compétition 2015
The programmer’s eye
In Porto-Vecchio, five teenagers surreptitiously spend the night in a luxurious and unoccupied villa, and steal a few worthless objects. When he gets back, the owner complains about the burglary to a local bigshot guy... A rough teen movie and a modern western where the Indians would be the heroes, but also a clear picture of Corsica, of its landscape as well as inhabitants.
