Fine Observational Motion Picture
22 July 2013 | by Edgar Soberon Torchia
(Panama)
I must admit I am a fool for films that deal
with children''s problems and dilemmas while
growing up, especially contemporary films,
in which we spectators can watch, sometimes
in awe, how children adapt to societies that
have lost almost every ethical value, and
how they are prepared to face a violent
future, no matter to what social class they
belong. Sometimes their problems have to do
with sexual orientation and marginality (as
"The Blossoming of Máximo Oliveros", from
Philippines), absence of mother and her
affection ("Kauwboy", from Holland) or
political situation in their countries
("Black Bread", from Spain; "The Year My
Parents Went on Vacation", from Brazil, and
"Clandestine Childhood", from Argentina).
"Kid" is a rather different film: it is the
case of a very intelligent boy everybody
knows as Kid (Bent Simons), whose father has
gone, and who lives in a beautiful and big
farm, with his kid brother Billy (Maarten
Meeusen) and passive mother (Gabriela
Carrizo), whom he adores. As Kid goes to
school, plays with his rascal friend Misty
(a funny character played by little Sander
van Sweevelt) and enjoys the countryside,
his mother conforms in silence, while she is
dispossessed of stock and equipment by
creditors, and threatened by criminals for a
debt (most probably her husband''s): the
possibility of selling the farm, move
somewhere else with her children and start a
new life is never considered, as we are
neither told what her husband did, why he
left and why he eventually returns bleeding.
Those details are apparently irrelevant to
what the film is concerned about. More than
finding ways to survive in capitalist
societies, recurring to its formulas, "Kid"
is more like a portrait of desperate
characters, most of them dehumanized and
deprived of compassion. Furthermore, it is a
revealing display of European people in
despair and hopelessness, who have reached a
stable economic situation, and face a bleak
future. The old folks sing hymns in church,
the young are jobless, and the children
adapt as they grow and watch. Kid is a
silent observer. He takes a radical
decision, but it is not a surprising one.
"Kid" belongs to the category of
observational cinema, so if you are looking
for action, formulas or industrially
digested and sanitized stories, this motion
picture is not for you. If you are open to
different cinematic experiences, don''t miss
it, watch it.
