Follows the friendships and rivalries of a group of young adults in the lower income projects of Paris. The film has had a lot of buzz due to the interesting style of the young filmmaker who lived in a similar background. The film is sort of a split narrative following a group of the boys and then retelling the story from the girls view. It's an interesting insight into the social and gender issues at work in the environment. It's probably worth seeing for that peek into another group's world. At the same time I didn't feel pulled into the story itself. Overall was below my expectations somewhat.
A collection of my idiosyncratic thoughts & film reviews. I find spending time sitting in the dark watching far too many films back to back a deeply relaxing experience.
International, Indy, Hollywood, Vampires - I have very flexible tastes...
