I too would find it difficult to concentrate if this guy was my high school teacher |
Another beautiful film from French director Christophe Honore.
I love the little moments in his films where something is [partly] shown on screen - a written note, an inaudible whisper - and remains unexplained and intangible to the audience. I guess some viewers would find these inclusions insubstantial and superfluous to the narrative, but it gives an extra sense of realism to the film. Not all truths are fully disclosed in real life as they usually are on film.
Lea Seydoux and Louis Garrel are perfectly cast, and the classroom scenes and the quiet shots of bored French teenagers at school are rather beautiful.
Best consumed on a rainy, winters day.
