Un amour de jeunesse



Mia Hansen-Løve : 2011
Goodbye First Love

When 15-year-old Camille meets 19-year-old Sullivan, their feelings create an almost unbearable intensity in Camille's life. Though he professes his devotion, Sullivan also longs to travel and chafes at the intensity of Camille's affection and need. When he takes off with his friends for a ten month backpacking trip to South America, his parting seems like the end of the world to Camille, but it's just the beginning of more complicated and tenacious emotions that will stretch through the years. Though she moves on, an unexpected encounter many years later pulls her unwillingly into the past, bringing the old, confusing feelings back to the surface. Mia Hansen-Løve's third feature explores with thoughtful insight and a delicate touch, first love's intoxicating, overwhelming and often cruel effects.
