A Nos Amours

France Sandrine Bonnaire d/ Maurice Pialat

This film concerns the troubled adolescence of a 15 year old girl stuck in a dysfunctional family. Verbal and physical abuse at home every day drives her to seek solace elsewhere...she becomes promiscuous and at one point says she is only happy in the arms of a man. She finds many who are willing to accommodate her.

Dynamite performance by SD who was only 16 at the time but easily takes center stage and holds our interest. Powerful supporting role by Pialat who plays her wise, cynical father...the cause of her confusion.

Very fine work all around.
