His school teacher offers him the chance to study in Paris, inclusive with a letter of recommendation, but his mother can not afford and Chimo stays. His three best friends are completely losers and scoundrels. When the shy Chimo meets the gorgeous and sexy new-arrival in the ghetto Lila, who lives with a deranged aunt, his gross friend Mouloud falls for her. However, Chimo becomes close to Lila, who seduces him with her sexual games, telling him about her perverted sexual experience.

When Mouloud sneaks and listens to a private conversation between Lila and Chimo, he concludes that the girl is a whore, with tragic consequences..

Reviews:

By the end, you understand the title…
I found this film very enjoyable. I believe the setting is actually Marseilles… not a Paris suburb as was mentioned in another review, However, a “poorer neighborhood” of “anywhere, big-city France” would describe it. I think this film can even provide a bit of insight into the underlying causes of the riots in France in Fall 2005.

Lila is an orphan, lives with her aunt/foster mother. She is beautiful and says many shocking things, even in the first two or three minutes of the film. (I would probably not let children watch this movie due to language, more than any other type of content.) Lila is a character who the viewer does not fully understand until the end of the film, which I will not spoil here. I was called back to my own adolescence while watching her character’s actions and even more so by the end of the film.

Chimo is a complex character and it is fascinating to see his story. I have met many “Chimos.” He is stuck in a life that he did not create, yet feels helpless to change, so he doesn’t try. As the movie begins, he is writing and telling a story, thereby setting the stage for all the meetings with Lila that are included in the film.

Chimo and his mother have an interesting relationship. He definitely loves her, but he is frustrated because he believes she has given up on living a full life. The same could be said of his mother as she questions his motivation-level.

I really enjoyed this film and think it is beautifully filmed. Makes me want to visit Marseilles.

The songs were well-chosen. I actually wished more of the soundtrack had been French or Arabic music, perhaps it was more real that many songs are in English. I am not sure what French teenagers listen to…

I recommend this film to viewers over 16 years old, but actually could see watching it with younger adolescents as a catalyst for a “teachable moment.”

A bittersweet ending that leaves some details hanging for the viewer to fill in.

Lila should have her mouth washed out with strong soap
“Lila dit ça” is the filming by Lebanese director Doueiri of a somewhat sensational popular French novel set in Marseille. The anonymous author, Chimo, is the main character. An Arab youth with writing talent, he keeps a journal of his encounters with a young blonde provocatrice newly arrived in the neighborhood. He submits the journal for a writing scholarship and it gets him out of the ghetto. The movie shows us what the journal describes: his teasing, frustrating relationship with the blonde cutie.

The idea makes sense, but the execution goes wrong. Doueiri’s first film, “West Beirut,” which showed the youths of that war- torn, partitioned town struggling to grow up like kids anywhere else, was full of humor and charm. But Doueiri falters in this more structured adaptation set in France. From the first moments in “Lila Says” where the young Lolita teases nineteen-year-old Chimo by talking dirty, the scenes between the two principals are embarrassing and awkwardly paced. The photography is crude and poorly lit. Chimo’s little gang of pals have zero appeal and are quite unworthy of both Chimo, who’s as pretty as the girl and has far more class, or the director, whose Beirut characters seemed to have real backstories and depth. Vahine Giocante, who plays Lila, had a haunting debut as the fugitive girlfriend in Manuel Pradal’s 1997 “Marie Baie des Anges.” The trouble is this time she can’t just rely on her Lolita body and ballet training to move around provocatively; she has dialogue. But is it her delivery, or the crude dirty talk itself that doesn’t work? In either case, although it may have succeeded on the page, it seems leaden on the screen.

While the sensitive-looking Chimo (Mohammed Khouas) restrains himself, his pals don’t, and it all ends badly and foster child Lila is taken away by her off-color female caretaker. Too late it dawns on Chimo that he could have saved the situation if he’d simply declared his love — and perceived that Lila’s four-letter words and porno stories came out of naïve fantasy. He’s failed her and betrayed their fledgling love affair, but he’s got his ticket out of the Arab quarter and the bus takes him away.

The scenes are rickety. It’s a shame because the two principals are nice to look at and some of the sets are colorful. But the shock value of a very pretty young blonde who’s opener is “Do you want to see my pussy?” has attracted more attention than this effort deserves.

As is mentioned in one scene, Arabs are all the rage now in France, in movies anyway, witness Benoît Jacquot’s stylish recent love-on-the run noir tale, “À tout de suite.” Doueiri ought to have been capable of much more than this stereotypical encounter. The worst part is that it’s not even a turn-on.
