Compte tes blessures

First time I watch a movie from this young director among the best of the new generation I was told, and I was curious to dive into it. The main character is impressive and so well played by the actor. You just believe in him, his suffering and his rebellious and artistic sides. Something's wrong from the beginning with the father as he really behaves too much like an asshole, a freaky bitter loser who looks down on his son. But you can think this is OK, why not? We don't know why he's so moody but it can happen easily in this world. The true issue appears with father's new girlfriend. Why? Because, if at the very beginning she looks little dumb so you could understand why this pretty woman with a sweet face is losing her time with such an asshole like the father, then, on the contrary, she unveils a very touching and inner way to communicate, listen, and understand things. So the line of believing in the story is broken: it is simply impossible for this kind of woman to hang out with that kind of man. It is as simple as that. Afterwards the evolution of the relation between the son and his father's girlfriend is out of interest because of being so obvious. Furthermore, we are not given a clue to get the reason why this woman, who turns out to be more and more charming as the movie goes on, is staying a single more second with that crappy useless man. I confess I stopped watching the movie after 45mn as I completely lost interest in the story, in addition to feel kind of uncomfortable, disturbed by the events happening. Maybe, I'd say maybe, watching it till the end could explain a few things and make the whole movie more consistent but I just did not feel like doing it.

The performance of Nathan Wilcock represents the hill of this film about a single father, his son, their tenssioned relation, a woman becoming part of Herve life and the effort to obtain love and self trust of young Vincent. A honest, realistic image of competition and fury and jealousy and love. Few splendid scenes, fair - touching message, poetic - bitter end.

"A Taste Of Ink" is a very touching story dealing with complex father and son relationship, surrounded by alternative rock music and tattoos. It is very rare to watch a such sensitive, smart, deep and powerful movie. I am impressed by the fact it is a first feature film, it is so mature. Kevin Azais is a terrific actor (all of them), so incensed and fragile at the same time. There is no doubt we hear in this movie the voice of a generation: lost, underground and modern. Thank you so much for this pure work of art.

Twas a great movie, really captured the distance between the generations and the struggle from both sides. There are some great lines in it, and some great music.

It's a shame though, that I cannot get my hands on it. I'd love to buy it on dvd or blu ray, idc I just wanna watch it again.
