Truly wonderful and supremely affecting. Just speculating here, but had Cantet lived to complete the film, and delivered something vaguely similar to what we have here, then it would have stood as one of his finest cinematic achievements. In its crisp, clean clarity and subtle handling of complex emotions and relationships, Campillo has taken the baton and made the film that Cantet would’ve wanted.
Infinitely fascinating and poignant. Far from typical, as either a coming-out or a coming-of-age story.
Powerful and absorbing. A heartfelt, urgent drama about youth and desire – and destiny, sexuality and class. Campillo brings to the movie his usual intelligence and clarity.
Exceptionally atmospheric and tactile. Spare and direct, but very insightful as a study of male adolescence in our fraught times, 'Enzo' makes a low-key but resonant coda to Cantet’s work, while thematically also being highly consistent with Campillo’s directorial output.

OPENING NIGHT SELECTION - 2025 CANNES FILM FESTIVAL (Directors' Fortnight)
OFFICIAL SELECTION - 2025 SYDNEY FILM FESTIVAL (Special Presentation)

From award-winning director Robin Campillo (BPM, The Returned, Eastern Boys)​ and the late Laurent Cantet​​ (Palme d’Or winner The Class)​, ENZO is a luminous new drama that intertwines the sunlit romance and tender emotions of Call Me by Your Name with a sharp, incisive exploration of social class and the quest for self-discovery.

Defying his bourgeois family’s expectations, 16-year-old Enzo (extraordinary newcomer Eloy Pohu) has pursued a masonry apprenticeship, a path far removed from the prestigious life envisioned for him by his parents (Pierfrancisco Favino and Élodie Bouchez). In their chic villa in the sun-drenched South of France, tensions simmer as relentless questions and pressures weigh on Enzo’s future and dreams. On the construction sites, however, Vlad (Maksym Slivinskyi), a charismatic Ukrainian colleague, shakes up Enzo’s world and opens the door to unexpected possibilities.
