“Holidays of Kid Nicolas ” is adapted from the famous novel by Sempe and Goscinny – the one that French children bring to the beach on holidays.
The feature follows the successful launch of the movie in 2010, which brought laughter to the audience.
The new film selects the most subtle and humorous details from the original story.
Along with expensive beach scenes, the film is sophisticated in terms of costumes. A bustling colorful beach with fragrant summer rooms and windy and beautiful bars creates a spacious, carefree vitality.
The second movie – “Vandal” – will be screened on June 30 and July 2.
Directed by Hélier Cisterne, the film stars Marina Foïs, Jean-Marc Barr, Ramzy Bédia, and Zinédine Benchemine.
The movie is about Chérif, 15, a rebellious and solitary teenager. Unable to cope with him, his mother sends him to live with his aunt and uncle in Strasbourg, where he must pick up his vocational training to become a builder. It’s his last chance. But very quickly, Chérif feels like he’s suffocating in his new life. But every night, graffiti artists set to work on the walls of the city, opening up a whole new world for Chérif…
Both films will be in French with Vietnamese subtitles.
Tickets are available at L’Espace, 24 Trang Tien Street, Hanoi.
