This movie is like a sexy French Opera! It dominates all your attentions, leaving you on the verge of speechless and clapping for more. The French can be quite vulgar! But the story is sad and sweet as we watch this young girl discover the darker parts of love and emotions. It is no surprise this was the Best Film of 1984. Maurice Pialat who directed & acted as the father in this film, won an award as did Sandrine Bonnaire for her character, Suzanne.
Yes it has subtitles. Yes it dramatic. Yes it has brief nudity (it's FRENCH), so your guy will watch it also. No it is NOT for the kiddos and Yes! I would watch it again.
