O Ano das Medusas

I choose that movie spontaneously. I never heard that movie before and don't know any actor or actress but when I watch I aware that the movie totally touches the emotions about love and relationships belong the family, lovers and humans. On the other hand the time has chosen specifically. Because the side of the sea during the summer love is alive every time. So I love the subject and I started to follow the director's other movies. I believe that I can really find very important character analysis in other movies too. Entirely when you watch that movie just focus on the relationship. Absolutely you will find very unique behaviours. Keep going 👏🏼

Not for everyone: one could almost dismiss it as a soft sexploitation movie from the eighties. But no.

This is about an obsessive little girl who is turning into a woman. The characters around her are here to reflect the wicked light she is shining, and emphasize facets of her personality, as she is wrecking havoc around her.

It is all then about the sexual desires of women and men. How they cheat. Whom they love. What it is that they want. What they would do to get it. Only one character is "not normal " in this movie, and this is the scary part: all the others could be us to some degree.

One flaw in this movie: the voice-over on two occasions. Obviously the director could not find a way could convey the message. Pity. Otherwise, it would have a perfect little venomous movie.

There is a much bigger story here than I'd spelled out in the script. Think about it. Don't be distracted by the nudity and undressing. That's not the story. Consider how did Chris get to know certain people when she was 16. How did her mom not know? Why is Dad acting so detached? Put all that together and the real story comes out. No, you are not led by the hand. No, you are not explained the most intriguing part of this drama. And no, you shouldn't act as though a topless beach club is risque in France. Just down from this club is a fully nude beach club. This is normal in Saint Tropez. No no no! Don't be distracted. Dig into this story and find the true villains. The first thing I said to my wife when the movie ended: now here's a movie that gives people a lot to consider when it's over.

The only reason I give this movie 3 stars is that the filmography is pretty nice and the main star is gorgeous. But story wise,this is an excellent exemple of why many French films have a reputation of being extremely boring and going nowhere fast.

This is a fine demonstration of this .

Crap.

..and you will have a good idea of this film. I haven't seen it in years, might have been on Bravo before they went edited and commercial... Anyway, the plot summary doesn't do this film justice. This is an excellent trashy movie about a good little bad girl who does a lot of naked damage for no real reason other than some mommy issues. Truly textbook psych101 stuff but still fun to watch.
