The story

What Is Clown About?

The premise of Clown without spoilers.

A young French boy and his dog Clown play in Montmartre, but after a card game in a park the dog runs off. The boy searches the streets, turning a simple kid‑and‑dog adventure into a story with subtle, ambiguous subtext and an open ending. Gilou Pelletier delivers a standout performance, while Guy Suzuki’s camera highlights Montmartre’s terraces.
