A rites-of-passage drama that has hurled its way into the crime genre at full throttle, Rodeo is set in the world of urban rodeos, a sub-culture of motorbike fanatics whose activities reach far beyond the stunts they revel in.
Julia (Julie Ledru) lives on a social housing estate with her mother and brother. Relations at home are fraught and Julie’s only escape is urban dirt-biking. But it’s a hobby she can’t afford – a situation she navigates by stealing second-hand bikes for sale when she’s offered the chance to test-ride them. It’s while on one of the stolen bikes that she encounters the B-More gang, a group who revels in daredevil antics while their base is used to repurpose stolen goods. Initially suspicious of Julie’s presence, her hustling abilities draw her into the fold, close to the gang’s imprisoned leader and his tough but troubled wife Ophélie (Antonia Buresi, who also co-wrote the film). As she becomes more embroiled in the gang’s activities, Julia reveals plans for a heist that could net them a small fortune but carries with it no small amount of danger.
