Boy

a review by CinemaSerf

Timothy Spall is the carpenter as the final preparations are being made at the velodrome for the 2012 Olympic Games in London. We have no dialogue, just a gentle score as his craftsmanship is peppered with images of a youth, on a bike, whom we assume is his son. Clearly tragedy has visited the man, but the film offers a small degree of redemption. It's an uncomplicated production, this, and is only ten minutes - worth a watch.
