Block Pass

A queer motocross coming-of-age drama—sensitive, deeply felt, and quietly profound—that establishes Antoine Chevrollier as a filmmaker to watch.

Reminiscent of Rebel Without a Cause, but with dirt bikes as the vehicle for defiance, the film follows blood-brothers Willy (Sayyid El Alami) and Jojo (Amaury Foucher) as they navigate grief, masculinity, and unspoken desires. While the racetrack should offer an escape, it only intensifies their inner turmoil—especially under the weight of domineering father figures and the pressures of self-discovery.

Block Pass premiered in the Critics’ Week section at the 2024 Cannes Film Festival.
