‘Gabin’ Trailer: In Director’s Fortnight Documentary, A Boy In Northern France Faces A Crossroads — Cannes

EXCLUSIVE: Gabin, set to premiere Thursday in Cannes, tells a classic coming of age story, a boy growing up in Northern France who must choose whether to follow a path prescribed by his family or strike out on his own.

The documentary directed by Maxence Voiseux bows in the Directors’ Fortnight sidebar, alongside fictional titles including Butterfly Jam, Atonement, and Clarissa. We have your first look at Voiseux’s film in the trailer above.

Gabin, shot over a period of 10 years, follows Gabin Jourdel from boyhood through adolescence. He’s the youngest of the Jourdel children and, as a lover of animals, perhaps not well disposed to become a butcher like his father.
