The TVI Take

A French teenager falls in love with an older art student. Abdellatif Kechiche's Palme d'Or winner is exceptional for its emotional honesty and performance work — Adele Exarchopoulos and Lea Seydoux are both extraordinary.

The extended intimacy scenes are both formally relevant and controversial. Educational about identity formation and the texture of young love.
