The Apprentice / L’apprenti Series: Rendez-Vous with French Cinema [2009] Director: Samuel Collardey, Country: France, Release: 2008, Runtime: 82 The French have a particular talent for creating works on the boundary between fiction and documentary that effectively capture the sights, sounds, and rhythms of life occasionally dropped by the artifice of cinema. Samuel Collardey’s marvelous The Apprentice, winner of the prestigious Louis Delluc Prize for best first film, follows Laurent Cantet’s The Class in this tradition with the story of 15-year-old student Mathieu (Mathieu Bulle), who lives and works as an apprentice on a family-run dairy farm high on the plateau in the Doubs region. He develops a warm, close relationship with farm owner Paul (Paul Barbier) that provides a partial refuge from the emotional chaos of his parent’s failed marriage. Collardey powerfully captures Mathieu’s world, allowing us to experience his growing mastery of farming techniques as we grow increasingly aware of the emotional cloud that hangs over him. The Apprentice offers a rich portrait of a young man facing his own limitations while discovering new possibilities.
