Mélanie Laurent : 2014
Breathe
Charlie is a young girl of 17. The age of friendships, emotions and convictions. The age of passions. A teenager like any other, not a child anymore, but not quite an adult either. A talented and pretty young girl, who is nevertheless full of doubts, disillusions and loneliness. And then Sarah arrives. She's the new girl. Beautiful and cheeky, she has a path, and a temperament. She immediately becomes the star. In class and at parties, with boys and with girls, even parents see her as a breath of fresh air. Sarah chooses Charlie. So Charlie gets excited, Charlie laughs and Charlie is alive – resolutely, intensely and evidently. Irreparably. Sarah, however, is one of those who moves on quickly. She is the type to discard the cold and damaged leftovers, in order to move on to the next friend, the next prey. Charlie is lost, and it's all too normal. Charlie is hurt, and that could be fatal. Mélanie Laurent's second feature premiered in a special screening at Semaine de la Critique du Festival de Cannes 2014.
