Part of the Malvern French Film Festival. Directed and written by Diane Kurys, this was her debut film and achieved box office takings second only to Star Wars in France in 1977.
Utterly charming, the film charts a year in the life of two adolescent sisters at an all-girls school in France as they experience a rapid-fire onslaught of ‘firsts’ during a time of political protest and social change.
Kurys demonstrates wit, great talent and a letter perfect memory of what it is like to be a 13 year old French school girl with skinny legs and a bossy sister, and a mother who doesn’t understand she may be ruining her daughter’s life if she keeps on refusing to let the teenager wear stockings.
Kurys presents details like these, and enough others to span an entire school year with a flawless understanding of how the events most earth-shattering to a girl in her early teens can mean not a fig to anyone around her.
