1983 drama
Rating: 16/20
Plot: I have to go to bed soon and don't have time to write a plot synopsis.
The poster for this is a still from what might be my favorite scene, an early one that shows our young protagonist (too young to be this naked, it should be noted) on the "I'm King of the World" part of a boat, a breeze threatening to billow her skirt to scandalous heights, while a trio of guys, including her brother, ogle her. And that's all while Klaus Nomi chants. It's lovely.
This movie drifts like adolescence, and director Pialat isn't afraid to challenge both himself and the audience. This is a movie about family and the dissolution of a family as much as it's about the sexual awakening of a teenager. There are moments when it's beautiful, especially whenever Sandrine Bonnaire lets a smile escape, and there are times when it's raw. Bonnaire in her first role is fantastic. Within her, there's an innocence and something very dangerous, and she unleashes both of those so naturally whenever the character needs to.
Ok, I have to go to bed now.
