Francoise Synopsis:A lonely gay adolescent suffers the pangs of unrequited love in this poignantly rendered coming-of-age film from Bavo Defurne. The narrative unfolds in a small town on the Belgian coast in the late 1960s and '70s, where introverted dreamer Pim grows up accustomed to neglect from his mother Yvette-better known at the local bar as 'Yvette Mimosa,' accordion player-and petty humiliation from her 'driver' Etienne. Pim eventually finds succor at the home of Yvette's co-worker Marcella, where he hero-worships her older son, Gino. Meanwhile, Marcella's daughter Sabrina obviously longs for his attention. Friendship grows into love when Gino, cautioning Pim to secrecy, supplies the besotted boy's first sexual experiences. But when Gino begins a relationship with a French girl, jealous Pim focuses his wistful romantic fantasies on Zoltan, the hunky itinerant fun-fair worker who comes to board at his mother's house. Debuting director Defurne (known for his shorts celebrating gay love) took a risk in casting a trio of age-appropriate newcomers, but the young actors repay him with emotionally truthful performances. Having won the FIPRESCI Award and Best Feature Debut at Montreal Film Festival, North Sea Texas delicately captures the ecstasy of first love and the heartache of frustrated desire. In this charming, sexy coming-of-age story set along the Belgian coastline in the early 1970s, Pim is a boy unafraid of his predilection for dressing up in women's clothes, putting on makeup or pining for the handsome, older boy who lives next door. His mom Yvette is a blowsy woman who spends more time in the pub than she does with her son, so she is somewhat oblivious to his burgeoning sexuality. Pim gets more attention from the neighbors where single mom Marcella feeds him, daughter Sabrina fawns over him, and son Gino isn't averse to being fondled by him. Adolescence is never easy; however, and Pim's clandestine relationship is complicated by Gino's new girlfriend and the arrival of a sexy boarder named Zoltan to Yvette's household. Effortlessly mingling these supporting characters and their stories with the trajectory of Pim's journey toward self-acceptance, North Sea Texas delights with its presentation of a bold central character pursuing his desires headlong. Frank without being prurient, well acted by a cast of relative newcomers and told with a precise sense of the days and hours of its young protagonist, this debut feature by the director of several well-known, gay-themed shorts will remind many of the emotional maelstrom of growing up. A teenage boy's search for love finds him fixated on the boy next door.
