Synopsis
The personal is political for the delicate François (Gaël Morel) whose tender youthful romance, built on a shared love of cinema and rock’n’roll, with the fiery feminist-communist Maité (Élodie Bouchez) comes to a sudden and abrupt end with the arrival of Serge (Stéphane Rideau) whose brutish appeal awakens unspoken desires within the boy. But it is the arrival of a fourth, the politically opposed Henri (Frédéric Gorny), that will soon thrust the quartet into adulthood with a sudden and violent shove in director André Téchiné’s unforgettably coming-of-age tale set amidst the last days of the French-Algerian war. Winner of four César Awards, including best film.
