amities particulieres::French cinema has always been, if not the most profound and analytic in the world, indeed, the one that sets the benchmark in my mind and it is all the more clear when one sees this film.
In this beautifully shot film, delanoy tackles a difficult subject matter the idea that kids like adults are capable of having and falling in love with a person of their same gender.
Now, after many years, i find it much more interesting as i have seen several failed attempted remakes like the fire that burns and many other films.
Many others have already written about the story.
The strength of our mediated world has increased exponentially and it will keep on growing.
The way we look at our world today is consistently chiseled by the way information is provided, dissected, manipulated and delivered.
We just consume it.
With it, the apocalyptic view on pedophilia that, by the way, means affinity, love, for boys has been transformed completely.
The idea that kidsyours and mine have a sex life is to sort of forget our own childhoods and forget the first person you fell in love withhow old were you?
Chances are,if you are like me i was 12 too as in this film so i could totally identify with alexandra.
What happens has happened for centuries and will happen i am rather sure centuries after all of us are dust as the victorians who sent oscar wilde to prison are a century or more ago are now dust.
Is this sort of love between kids a good and natural thing?
What is undeniable in this story is that love exist as a fact beyond all doubtgeorges loves alexandre and alexandre is absolutely in love with him, despite the age gap that georges is almost 15 and alexandra is 12.
Pending review of the next dsm v.
This raises some interesting ideas if there is actually anything abnormal going on here in the film.
What would the media say about something like this today?
We all know the answer.
This film can teach, too, a lot in cinematographic techniques.
Maybe one of the most daring movements is when georges arrives in one of the first scenes of the film.
All in all, a mustsee.
