Gagarine - BLU-RAY

Like the '60s-era South Paris housing project where he's spent his whole life, teen Youri (Alséni Bathily) was named after cosmonaut Yuri Gagarin... and harbored his own dreams of reaching the stars. When the aging structure is tagged for demolition, however, he finds a mission in trying to stave off the wrecking ball-in spite of the outcome's inevitability. Affecting effort co-stars Lyna Khoudri, Jamil McCraven, Finnegan Oldfield, Denis Lavant. 98 min. Widescreen; Soundtrack French; Subtitles English; theatrical trailers. In French with English subtitles.
