Buzz: Coming in from BAFICI, and preceding its big center stage NYFF unveiling, The Student is one of the year’s most promising unknowns. As the writer for Cannes-competing Lion’s Den, it’s no surprise that Mitre’s got big-name potential. This is his second feature, and his first to play anywhere in North America. If it does well, look for huge things in this guy’s future.
The Gist: A university-hopping student rations his time negotiating politics and opposite-sex seductions. When these hobbies set sights on one of his professors, matters become predictably grave.
