My Life with James Dean
Directed by Dominique Choisy
Produced by La Voie Lactée
A wry, melancholic comedy about romantic longing and artistic ambition set against a French seaside backdrop, complicated by an ethically fraught attraction.
Still pining for his ex-boyfriend, Géraud has come to a French seaside town to present his new experimental film, but the only person keen on seeing it is the cinema's underage projectionist who becomes smitten with the handsome director.
