Plot summary

George is the scapegoat of his classmates. One day he cracks and shoots them. His best and only friend Blaise is accused in his place and sentenced to 7 years in a psychiatric hospital. At the day of his release, Blaise realizes he only has one family: his best friend George. But he does not want to hear about his childhood friend, as he tries to integrate with the “Chivers” a gang whose members wear red jackets and boots, drink milk, drive sport trucks and play an incomprehensible and violent game that mixes cricket and mental arithmetic.

In "Steak," Blaise(Eric Judor) is released from a mental hospital after seven years due to three murders he did not commit. Those were in fact committed by his pal Georges(Ramzy Bedia) who picks him up but otherwise wants nothing to do with him now. That has less to do Georges' plastic surgery than with his current social status with a gang he has just joined. If nothing else, "Steak" captures the passage of time to somebody outside of society better than most other movies I can think of, albeit in a totally absurd, unpredictable and Canadian way, including a couple of great bits. Even with no flying cars, the movie makes some neat points about conformity and people feeling the need to fit in at all costs. On the other hand, it is not all negative, as smoking is severely frowned upon and everybody drinks a ton of milk, perhaps as a tip of the cap to "A Clockwork Orange."

On doit vraiment passer pour des abrutis quand ce genre de film est vu a l'etranger. Non seulement le film est construit sur une structure desesperement binaire et moraliste, mais il est en plus ennuyeux (seule la sequence avec Sebastien Tellier est digne d'interet) mais en plus mal joue, mis en scene avec les pieds et mis en musique de maniere vomitive. Eric Judor est pas mal du tout, mais les autres, c'est une catastrophe.
