A very good movie

I already saw this movie but it was ages ago and, since it was available on Netflix, I thought I might as well check it out again. Even though this movie seems to be nowadays pretty much forgotten, I remembered very well when it was released in France. Indeed, in my my home country, it was a massive critical success (it even won the César of the Best French Film of the year) and there was a huge ... read more

Description: Téchiné had his greatest success to date with Wild Reeds (Les roseaux sauvages) (1994). The film was commissioned by French television as one of part of a series of eight films entitled Tous les garçons et les filles de leur âge, although it was shown first at cinemas. This is a bucolic tale of teenage self-discovery centered on the inner turmoil of four teenagers staying at a boarding school in Aquitaine in 1962, their political and sexual awakenings with the effect the Algerian War as backdrop. The director, inspired in his adolescence, delivered a limpid and sensual work, bathed by the light of southwest France. Faithful ... (more)

" Note : Even though this movie seems to be nowadays pretty much forgotten, I remembered very well when it was released in France. Indeed, in my my home country, it was a massive critical success (it even won the César of the Best French Film of the year) and there was a huge hype around the whole thing. Well, I have to admit that I didn't remember anything about this movie but, eventually, after a re-watch, I was so impressed by the damned thing, provably even more than the first time around. "

My favorite French movies (38 movies items)

"Original Title: 'Les roseaux sauvages' Directed by: André Téchiné With: Élodie Bouchez, Gaël Morel, Stéphane Rideau Plot: The fates of two homosexual partners are divided. Note: When I first watched it, I was actually around the same age as the characters involved and, even if I did appreciate it at the time, I'm afraid it was too subtle for me. However, to watch it again almost 30 years later was actually quite emotional and even overwhelming. Indeed, I think it's a movie for a mature"

90 Queer Movies to See Before You Die... (100 movies items)

"CAPTIVATING and EXOTIC! Over 20 years since this film's release, and André Téchiné is still 'the man' when it comes to coming out/coming of age stories. Needless to say, it's hard to disagree that this 1994 classic was the film that set the bar, and brothas' and sistas', it set the bar pretty damn high. On one level, Les roseaux sauvages is just plain 'beautiful' to look at. On another, it's got a poetic and unorthodox plot with mult-layers to it. A setting that is key to driving home some o"
