A film that is respectful of teenagers and tells the rest of us how they grow up
How do teenagers grow-up? Andre Techine’s camera gives us a cool and respectful view into their emotions. Elodie Bouchez, playing sixteen-year-old Maite, in particular, projects emotion with a quiet dignity. It is remarkable how much is going on while the film seems so quiet. Maybe it is the durability of French countryside that calms the children and us.The children realistically explore their budding sexuality with all dimensions treated in a straightforward and sensitive manner. The children await the results of their baccalaureate exam, the culmination of French High School education and the key to their professional lives. The natural developmental and educational issues that teenagers face are compounded by the turbulence of the times. And what turbulence surrounds these children! A violent, unpopular, and un-winable war to retain colonial ownership of Algeria strikes directly into this small French village as one child looses his brother and another his homeland. The latter plans bloody revenge against those whom he believes betrayed France until he realizes that Maite, a girl he loves, would be his target. Maite’s mother is overwhelmed by guild and institutionalized by fear that her lack of action may have led to the brother’s death.
Oh, and there is some great American rock and roll that somehow fits in; it must be that enduring French countryside.
Stupid French Film with Useful Idiots.
I am still asking myself as to how and why I ended up getting this movie from Netflix. There is nothing to see for an intelligent viewer. Stupid idiotic teenagers wander aimlessly in the French country side with one kid clutching his radio for good part of the movie. They are all effete looking and talk gibberish (atleast from what I read in the sub-titles.) The movie is a bore and lacks any kind of continuity that is sign of a good film maker. The class room scene is the most boring piece of movie I ever seen. These French Films are overrated by these French Media Morons here to reffered as morons for brevity, who probably have never seen non French films since they are narcissistic and don’t know or don’t care there is life outside France or outside of French films. Quite a bunch of useful and strange idiots. To the credit of this movie..the cinematography is breathtaking specially the canal scene and the greenery of the countryside.
