Synopsis
A Bad Son (Un mauvais fils, 1980) is a French drama directed by Claude Sautet that you can watch online on iFILM. Bruno walks out of an American prison after a drug conviction and crosses back into France with nothing: no money, no plan, and a father he barely knows.
The reunion is quieter and warmer than either of them expected. His father doesn't press him — his mother has been dead for years, and the two men missed that grief separately; now maybe they can try something different. But the truce doesn't hold. Bruno finds out his father has moved on romantically, quits the job he just found, takes work at a bookshop, and meets a young woman with the same messy history and the same shaky hold on sobriety. Patrick Dewaere plays it almost without words, and that restraint is what makes the performance so unnerving. Stream A Bad Son online on iFILM.
