Urchin (#CinémathèqueUnreleased)

Show & Culture

Mike, a homeless Londoner grappling with addiction and self-destructive urges, continually tries—and not without setbacks—to rebuild his life after prison. Through a blend of social realism and surreal imagery, the film paints a portrait that is both unsentimental and compassionate of a man caught between personal responsibility and systemic failures that leave the most vulnerable with little prospect of stability.
