An astonishing debut for 23-year-old director Audrey Estrougo, Ain’t Scared chronicles one day in the emotional life of a Parisian housing project. Its focus is a group of young people, each of whom tries in his own way to express deep feelings for someone else while simultaneously maintaining the hard emotional shells needed to survive in these mean streets. Especially after the disturbances of 2005, the Parisian suburbs — the ring of housing projects known as “cites” that surround Paris — have been much discussed, yet rarely has anyone offered such a close-up sense of their daily life. Estrougo, who grew up in a housing project, also explores the racial dynamics that are very much part of this world, detailing the codes and practices young men and women learn are the special rules they’re supposed to follow. Estrougo’s cast, chosen largely from residents of the cites, give her film a remarkable authenticity.
