“Clotaire” (Malik Frikah) is the school wide boy

“Clotaire” (Malik Frikah) is the school wide boy who meets his match in the younger “Jacqueline” (Mallory Wanecque) and despite their coming from opposite sides of the tracks, they start to bond. He becomes besotted with her, but rather than buy her her favourite “The Cure” album, he pinches it for her, and that’s just the latest example of his petty criminality that ultimately ends up with him spending ten years incarcerated. When he (now François Civil) comes out of prison, he goes back to his old stomping grounds to get paid and perhaps to hook back up with her, but he finds that nothing he left behind is as it seems and with violence never far from him he knows that change is the only way he can perhaps be reconciled with a “Jackie” (now Adèle Exarchopoulos) who has had not had her own troubles to seek since he went away. She is now living with her boss “Jeffrey” (Vincent Lacoste) but fairly clearly for convenience rather than affection. Can there be a future for the childhood sweethearts? This is a tightly cast and gritty action drama that does follow quite a predictable story arc, but it also does benefit from four really quite impressive performances as it combines the throes of young love with the conflict brought by the sense of the hopeless felt by “Clotaire” as he starts to take the only path he feels is open to him. There isn’t so much dialogue with this, which I think helps, and the 1980s soundtrack also helps give us a sense of their occasion as they mature at different speeds and in wholly different ways. It’s a film that’s about characters rather than their scenario, and though I can’t say I especially enjoyed the fizzling out at the denouement, it’s a solid feature that is worth a watch.

Great surprise

Original scenario. Lellouch did really great with this movie, one of the best scenario and movie of the year. Great Nostalgie starting from the opening font style. Picture, music, image all other the movie is a great memory of the 80s and 90s.The "kids" are playing very well, looking forward new movies, they are to become great actors. I was a bit afraid of Exarchopoulos as usually I don't really like her but she does pretty well on her scenes which are pretty made for her. Chabat is obviously great as the GOAT he is, i remind me of Didier at the start for thise who know, you'll know. Civil is perfect in the role, this dark style fits him very well.

Hectic epic love story

The film is very long and pretty uneven between its first part when the characters are teenagers and the second part, ten years later.The acting is really good. The young actors are fresh and genuine. Adele and François are top. Alain Chabat is a big teddy bear and as usual, you want to punch Benoit Poolvoorde.The musical background really sets the 80's tone in small industrial French town. Mostly British and American songs but so grounded in the era.You end the film with a smile on your face.It is not the best film of the year but a beautiful crazy passionate love story. Despite being uneven, you follow Clotaire and Jackie all the way.
