A simple image collage of two Young French Cinema selections at this year’s Wisconsin Film Festival. On the left, Rose (Annabelle Lengronne) and her young son Ernest (Milan Doucansi) walk through the low-income banlieue district on the outskirts of Paris in “Mother And Son.” On the right, Mériem (Judith Chemla) holds one of her five children on the vacant lot where they live in a mobile home on the outskirts of Paris in “The Sixth Child.”
