Summary
During a skiing holiday, musician Ned meets Valentine, a young and very
desirable intellectual. In Paris, after another chance meeting, they are swept up in a
whirlwind romance - which soon runs into problems when Ned’s ex-wife
appears on the scene... Review
After their successful collaboration on La Boum (1980) and La
Boum 2 (1982) debutante actress Sophie Marceau and director
Claude Pinoteau conspired to serve up yet another dollop of low calorie
entertainment for dewy eyed adolescents emerging from the minefield of
puberty into the disaster zone known as adulthood. Wetter
than a monsoon-themed weekend in Brittany, L'Étudiante is about as
lightweight as a film can be without being composed entirely of
hydrogen molecules. Some may be enthralled by its inoffensive yet
nauseating brand of chick lit style romantic naivety; anyone with any
sense and/or self-respect plus some fleeting knowledge of how things
are in the real world should give it a very wide berth.
