An unknown jewel

Basically, it is once again one of these really obscure French movies that almost no one has seen here on listal. Anyway, in fact, I remember it very well when I first saw it, I even saw it when it came out (for some strange reasons, it was first released on a French TV channel before it hit the movie theaters). Anyway, back in those days, I was just about 14-15 years old and I could completely identify with the characters. Indeed, basically, they were around the same age, rebellious, anxious about life, experiencing drugs and sex.... Concerning Cédric Klapisch, it was only his 2nd directing effort and my first contact with him but I was really impressed and he would eventually become one of the most interesting French directors of his generation. Concerning Romain Duris, the guy had an impressive screen presence even though he was barely 20 years old with no acting experience. Apparently Klapisch discovered him in the street and, eventually, they would make 6 other movies together. To conclude, even though it is a rather obscure flick, I have a huge weak spot for this movie and it is definitely worth a look, especially if you are interested in French movies.
