Elle Fanning w/d Sally Potter
Sally Potter returns to the front ranks of world-class filmmakers with this coming-of-age drama set in the time of maximum cold-war tension - the Cuban missile crisis.
Two teenaged girls, friends from birth are ushered into the murky moral landscape of the adult world when her 'pacifist' father begins a sexual affair with one of them.
Elle Fanning was superb here...dispelling any notion that she is just the ingenue-of-the-week: this girl was completely convincing as a bewildered, deeply wounded teen unable to process the reality of the relationships in her life. It's a performance which will make her career.
Many lovely director's touches round out this cinematic gem. Kudos.
