Watch Léolo For Free

Very well executed

The film makes a home in your brain and the only cure is to see it again.

Unshakable, witty and deeply felt, the film will be paying emotional dividends for a long, long time.

Worth seeing just to witness how winsome it is.

young 12 year old boy masturbates in a piece of raw meat.....young nude girl bites an old mans toenails....young boys use a cat for sex.....mother falls in a tomato truck and gets pregnant by tomato....dad and mom watch son evacuate his bowels and clap when he does it. IS THAT ENUFF FOR YOU. and some say i didn't understand the film and it is a masterpiece. sorry but this movie is rotten to the core. and im french..and i don't betray my people because the movie C.R.A.Z.Y was a million times better. leolo is an absolute disaster. 1 point for cinematography though...and thats it. THOSE who loved it well.......good for you but you ain't no friend of mine

Other users seem to have enjoyed this film, but I thought it was revolting. Who wants to watch a movie where a kid puts raw meat in the bathtub, then slides it into his underwear, and has an orgasm with it? Oh and then his family eats the meat for dinner. Okay, fine so it's a human interest story about a kid growing up in a highly dysfunctional family... but the narrator doesn't seem to be any less dysfunctional than his relatives.To make things even more interesting, Leolo's family believes that in order to avoid disease in their impoverished surroundings, one must "shit" all the time, so Leolo grows up taking daily laxative shock treatments. His parents even check to make sure he has had a good BM or they sit in the same room with him while he excretes.Can I just say that I don't understand why ANYONE would want to watch this movie? The only reason I did is that my dad had rented it and said it was "about a boy growing up." Sounds harmless, right? The director could have included a few of the bathroom scenes at the beginning of the movie to give viewers a sense of how this poor kid grew up, but it was unnecessary to interrogate people with these preverted images.

I missed the first 30 minutes of this travesty but what i did see was sick, disgusting, vulgar and worst of all....pointless and unfunny. i can appreciate sick, weird and even vulgar---but what was the point? & was it supposed to be funny? the kid screwing a cat? i mean, what was that? the 2 scrawny 9yr olds having "sex" w/ the fat lady in the dirty alley. gross. the kid trying to hang his grandfather in the bathtub--& the conclusion to that incident was.......???? nothing. life just went on like it never happened & where the hell was the grandfather? it was like each scene was merely for shock value and i hate when movies try hard to shock. oh & the corny french guy & his poetic narrations that tried to make every scene sound prophetic was enough to get the eyes rolling. & the ending w/ the kid under the bed? what was that all about? then the movie ends with the cheezy french guy going on about how funny life is sometimes. come on. the only good thing i saw in the movie was the hunky muscular older brother who walked around in a wife-beater & undies. his little brother was a total perv and annoying to boot. i wish they'd shown more of his hunky brother. this movie gets the big thumbs down....except for the muscleboy. peace OUT!

I give this film a 10 for its artistic qualities. It's one of the best Canadian films that has ever been made. The early tragic death of the director (who died shortly after the making of this film) prevented it from getting promoted, and the attention that it deserves.Why I think that Léolo has the recipes to perfect art:1. The poetry: Léolo has a secret argument. On the surface it's a story of a coming-of-age child who discovers sex and death, who rebels against the family's hereditary madness and does so by becoming a dreamer. The madness itself is a metaphor of the threshold between reality and fiction, which is played with in the magic-realism in the narration. The intertextuality to Don Quijote (one of its main theme is madness and reality and fiction), the metaphor to the plastic red rose made in China, also works into the theme of what it seems and what it really is, and the ambiguity that exists in between.2. The social context: The reality of poor, working class French Canadians living in a Anglo Canadian dominant society, and the experience of a child growing up in this grotesque reality.3. Entertainment: The dark humour - the scene where the cross falls off the wall, for example. The alternate ways that one could use pig liver.4. The humanity: The profound psychological exploration of the characters. The magic-realism also provides bitter humour in this context, such as in Fernand's case. He gets buff out of fear, but the fear remains in him no matter what he does. Léo's clash in identity submits him to madness but also is preventing him from it because he is dreaming, and in this dream he is the Italian Léolo.These are only quick memorable examples. Watch the film for the full experience.
