La boum 2

Hello all,

I'm a great fan of french films and of course, I like La Boum 2 very much. There is a scene where Felix plays the piano (while Vic and her friend play a game at the table) and where Vic and he meet the first time. Now, I'd like to know the name of the song he plays. This scene is, before Vic has to go down the street as a prostitute.

It would be great if anybody could help me in this case!

Many thanks in advance!

I saw this movie as a 13 year old and instantly fell in love with Sophie Marceau. It shows a normal world with normal people and normal Teenager. It was the Teenager Movie!

After over 20 years, I can say that I do miss this type of coming of age film (Breaking Away, My Bodyguard, 400 Blows) done before the modern age of jaded irony & cynicism. It's for those old enough to miss the young subjects of Truffaut, only without the melancholy. Even the cheesy but sprightly tunes invite nostalgia. Like Bardot before Marceau, her precocious innocence here holds up against French frankness. Sophie has yet to recapture the same appeal even after limited exposure to her more grown-up international efforts (Braveheart, 007), even Lambert Wilson's mature exposure (Matrix Reloaded, Catwoman) come off now as well, ironic & cynical.

So I enjoyed it mostly but it feels kind of like the first movie. Teenagers going to party at other people's houses and have fun. But I wished there was a new turn in the narrative. Also it may have been cool if the movie would have taken place right after the first movie ended. To see what happens to the character viq, but after all I enjoyed it.

I had a good time watching it. I traveled back to those times. J'aime cette actresse et la musique bien sure!
