The Beautiful Person
Directed by Christophe Honoré
Produced by Scarlett Production, ARTE France Cinéma
A melancholic coming-of-age drama centered on a grieving teenager's internal world and the complicated romantic entanglements that unfold around her beauty and emotional distance.
In the wake of her mother's tragic death, French teenager Junie transfers to a different high school. Though Junie lives mostly inside her own head, her beauty and stoicism win her the attention of the entire male student population. Junie begins dating the gentle Otto Cleves, but finds herself intensely drawn to her youthful Italian language teacher, Nemours. When Nemours begins to reciprocate, serious complications ensue.
