He did treat Cybele bad by hitting the kid in the park and other things too, which caused her a lot of stress. Also he lied to her in the beginning. Clearly he was manipulating the original meeting between them, in other words he had it planed out.
I ain't saying Pierre was noble or misunderstood, he was exhibiting abnormal and progressively antisocial behaviour. What I like about the film it isn't cut and dry.
Yes of course.
Sean I didn't say you specifically would view the movie different, I said 'we' as in most film watchers.
Not sure if I follow you? I didn't say his age made it right or excusable, I don't think I mentioned his age?
Like I said in my review: I don't know what the relationship was meant to be and that's what I like about the film.

I will just leave it that I think he fell for Cybele. You mention him beating up the kid as him treating Cybele badly. I think it’s the exact opposite, he’s protecting his turf. That’s actually the point the movie left all ambiguity behind for me. From that point forward he fell deeper and deeper in love, his actions reflect that, and I think the director is good with that. In fact I think it’s why he told the story.
