A Nos Amours
Directed by Maurice Pialat
Produced by Les Films du Livradois, Gaumont
A raw, intimate portrait of adolescent sexual awakening as both escape and symptom of family dysfunction, steeped in melancholy and psychological tension.
Fifteen-year-old Suzanne seeks refuge from a disintegrating family in a series of impulsive, promiscuous affairs. Her fulsome sexuality further ratchets up the suppressed passions of her narcissistic brother, insecure mother and brooding, authoritarian father.
