Jerzy Sladkowski’s documentary centres on an autistic man whose mother attempts to make him ‘normal’.
Paris-based documentary specialist Cat&Docs has acquired international rights to Jerzy Sladkowski’s Don Juan, which last night won the Idfa Award for Best Feature-Length Documentary.
Maelle Guenegues, who handles acquisitions at Cat&Docs alongside company president Catherine Le Clef, said the pair had screened the film early on in International Documentary Festival Amsterdam (Idfa) (Nov 18-29).
“We immediately agreed it was our type of film,” said Guenegues. “It’s a very intimate documentary about an autistic boy whose mother is putting him through all sorts of treatments to make him a real man.
“It reads like a fiction. It’s a great story, very well done.”
Polish-born, Sweden-based Sladkowski is best known for his award-winning 2010 film Vodka Factory, which captured the humdrum lives and contrasting dreams of female factory workers in Russia.

Of Men and War’s compassion is matched only by its relentlessness. Laurent Bécue-Renard’s observant documentary was shot from 2008 to 2013 in and around the Pathway House, a “transition home for combat veterans” in the Napa Valley. That right there is actually more context than the film itself initially offers: With little ornamentation or artifice, it gives us the words and faces of Iraq and Afghanistan vets struggling with post-traumatic stress; we don’t know these guys’ names, or the specific circumstances of their service. Bécue-Renard doesn’t so much follow as drift, from person to person, sometimes from family to family. What emerges is a tapestry of despair, one defined by its persistence.Much of the film is built around group therapy sessions in which the veterans relay the experiences that haunt them. Bécue-Renard’s camera is unflinching as these men tell tales of unthinkable horror. One speaks of...

Laurent Bécue-Renard’s Of Men and War is an immersive look at group therapy conducted at a California residential facility for young soldiers returning from Iraq and Afghanistan. Their stories are, predictably, horrific — a man trying to catch a fellow soldier’s brain as it fell out is typical — and it’s extremely difficult for others to understand what they’re experienced. Veterans talk amongst themselves in often grueling sessions, storming out for a smoke when it becomes too much. One man says he only gets three questions from civilians: did you kill someone, why did you kill them, and if there was any way not to kill […]...

Laurent Bécue-Renard’s Of Men and War has won the Vpro Idfa Award for Best Feature-Length Documentary.
The trophy, which comes with a cash prize of €12,500, was handed out in Amsterdam’s Compagnietheater at the awards ceremony of the 27th Idfa.
The French-Swiss co-production is about a group of American Iraq veterans with post-traumatic stress disorder. Director Bécue-Renard followed the group for many years during therapy sessions in a clinic for veterans.
A statement from the jury said the film “confronts us with our fragility as human beings, revealing that we must treat each other with gentleness and love. In a way that is never intrusive, the camera participates in therapy sessions for traumatized veterans. (…) A more powerful anti-war film is hard to imagine.”

What will it take for the Cannes Film Festival to show more documentaries? In the last 58 years, Cannes has selected only three documentaries for its main competition: Jacques Yves Cousteau and Louis Malle's "The Silent World" in 1956 and two films from Michael Moore ("Bowling for Columbine" and "Fahrenheit 9/11"). Rather, docs frequently pop up in the Special Screenings section. This year, they include Laurent Bécue-Renard's "Of Men and War," Steve James's "Life Itself," Hilla Medalia's "The Go-Go Boys: The Inside Story of Cannon Films," Gabe Polsky's "Red Army," Ossama Mohammed's "Silvered Water, Syria Self-Portrait," and Stéphanie Valloatto's "Cartoonists - Foot Soldiers Of Democracy." And while filmmakers experimenting with docu-fiction hybrids like Jia Zhang-ke ("24 City"), Ulrich Seidl ("Import/Export"), Pedro Costa ("Colossal Youth") and Lisandro Alonso (appearing this year in Certain Regard with "Jauja") continue to crash Cannes' vaunted barriers, the number isn't...
