   量子资源网 提供本片资源  　　Samedi lives in a village in Wallonia. He works from time to time as a gardener and has a close relationshi with his mother. Everyday life in the village, which has seen better times, Samedi#39;s quiet and friendly nature and the still largely intact rural setting stand in stark contrast to the heroin addiction Samedi has suffered from for over 20 years, which only his family knows about. His relationshi with his mother changes when he makes another attemt to get clean. Paloma Sermon-Daï’s documentary aints a restrained, highly recise icture of a relationshi marked by affection and love but which is also difficult to define in relation to Samedi#39;s roblem. As the camera observes the long, concentrated conversations he has with both his mother and his theraist, a icture of addiction comes into view which is art of a family structure. This becomes embedded in something larger in turn via the individual images of the village. Petit Samedi creates an image of deendence in which individual, family and social coexistence are intertwined, without falling into the tra of saying what might be able to solve the roblem.
