Vu dans l’avion (3/3) Reco de Chloé Bertrand à l’éééépoque donc j’en ai profité. Très très malaisant, clairement trop intense pour moi ce genre de films mais c’était bien, très bien joué et plusieurs niveaux d’histoire : la quête d’être soi même, propos sur la distinction ou juste un couple attachant face à un groupe de bullys (qui est très réaliste mdr). Et la fin ptn je m’attendais à une autre teinte : bref un peu traumatisant mais du coup ça en fait un film marquant qu’on recommande (Fanny ne s’est ps endormie cedt un signe que c’est pas mal).
Synopsis
Hugo is 19 years old. Like every summer, he spends his holidays on an Atlantic island, in the small family house. But this year is different: Hugo has undergone a physical transformation and arrives with his girlfriend, Queen, a beautician whose lively chatter and long, glittery nails contrast sharply with the young man’s modesty and shyness. Before long, the couple becomes the focus of everyone’s attention.
