Bad Son (1980)


Good movie drama about ex-convict released from prison for drug addiction. When he returns to home he rejoin with his embittered father and tries to form a father and son relationship with him, all the while working some jobs in factory, until he find work in bookstore where he encounters ex-junkie girl who is struggling to overcome her addiction. Bruno have some fight with his father over death of his mother, only to find that his father was having an affair with another woman while his mother was sick. Question here is who is actually bad son. Movie itself is nothing to write home about, but is superbly carried by leading actor Patrick Dewaere, himself a tragic man who suffered from depression and drug addiction until he killed himself at the height of his career.
