Nous, les enfants du XX siècle est un film franco-russe de Vitali Kanevski sorti en 1994.

Synopsis

Oscillant entre le documentaire et la fiction, le film s'attache à entrer dans le monde parallèle des enfants des rues de Saint-Pétersbourg, petits délinquants et marginaux livrés à eux-mêmes. On les retrouve finalement dans les prisons où certains sont incarcérés pour meurtre. L'enchaînement de la violence est-il inéluctable ?

Ce film est la suite de Bouge pas, meurs, ressuscite, sorti en 1989 (le premier film de Vitali Kanevsky). Le héros, Valerka, sortant de l'adolescence, survit à Soutchan dans cette région orientale de la Sibérie à l’ère stalinienne où la civilisation semble n'être pas encore arrivée. Conditions de vie sauvage, extrême, pauvreté au delà de l'imaginable. Entre désespoir et rêve, c'est pourtant de cette vie moyenâgeuse que le réalisateur lui-même, comme un miracle, s'est échappé.

The film stars three real-life juvenile gangsters, all aged 15, giving an accurate depiction of Chinese teenage gang-life in the Singapore suburbs. The 2003 film features two more gangsters as characters as well as a fight sequence with more affluent English-educated Singapore youths. Rather than scripting the movie or employing professional actors, Tan attempted to capture the troubled lives of his characters in realistic fashion, apparently without much prior scripting.

The first scene of the film is a reenactment of a kidnapping. A girl is kidnapped and brought to the apartment of a criminal organization, where she is confined with other girls in a room with a creaky ceiling lit by a flickering lightbulb. The girls are naked and cry from fear as men examine them and shout commands and threats at them. One girl is dragged away into another room. The girls are then brutally abused until they become sexually submissive. These events take place in a small European town, possibly in Moldova. The film asserts that 10% of the population of Moldova has been sexually trafficked. From there, the film tracks the girls through Serbia and Croatia to Amsterdam's red-light district and markets in Berlin and Las Vegas. Among legal prostitution in cities, the slavery goes undetected. Slaves are depicted in confinement, at their places of work, and as they are sold. Many of the girls are orphans and all are either initially kidnapped or tricked into forced prostitution. The methods that the traffickers use to keep the girls include hard drugs, mind control, and both sexual and physical abuse.
