Film Adaptation of Goncourt Winner ‘Leurs enfants après eux’ Receives Mixed Reviews
The film adaptation of Nicolas Mathieu’s Goncourt-winning novel ‘Leurs enfants après eux’ is set to release on December 4, 2024. Directed by Ludovic and Zoran Boukherma, the film stars Paul Kircher as Anthony, who navigates adolescence against the backdrop of socio-economic decline in 1992 France. While the cast’s performances are praised, critics note the film’s excessive length and reliance on nostalgic visuals, which overshadow the emotional depth of the original narrative.
