L'Amour
1990 Comedy / Drama / Romance
Review
Philippe Faucon’s portrait of adolescence is filmed with a striking realism which manages
to convey some sense of the vulnerability and vitality of those harrowing yet precious
teenage years. With a cast of non-professional actors, filmed in daringly naturalistic
way, Faucon comes as close as he probably can to making a convincing film about adolescence
without it being a documentary. Whilst Faucon is to be credited on his unusual cinematic
approach, the film places great demands on its audience. With so many characters, none
of whom is explored in any great detail, the film does appear a tad superficial and aimless.
