Bay Area Reporter :: Indiefest s queer flick picks

In the not-LGBT but sort of queer category, director-writer Zoé Wittock s Jumbo, Jeanne (Noémie Merlant) starts her first day working at a small amusement park set near a French town s waterfall. This is convenient, since she s been visiting the park since childhood, tinkers with small light sculptures made from bicycle wheels and spare parts. She also has a sort of fetish for the rides, particularly the Move It, a swirling light-blinking machine which she nicknames Jumbo. She has no interest in the mild flirtations from Marc (Bastien Bouillon), her new male boss, despite her free-spirited divorced mother (Emmanuelle Bercot) goading her into dating. One night, as she performs her custodial duties, Jumbo comes to life, of sorts, like a bolted-down Transformer. It talks with her via red light/green light Yes/No questions and gives her late-night rides. Her coming out does not go well, and until the ending, events take a dark then uplifting, if not odd turn.
