Sam suffit (1992) - film review

In the late 1970s. a 20-year old  punk stripper, Eve, decides to give up being a rebel and start a normal life.  Leaving Barcelona she heads for Paris to start a new life, where she tries to fit into the society she previously rejected.

Actress-turned-director Virginie Thévenet takes an ironic look at the world of an outsider in this raw drama.  The film’s ugly presentation, lethargic pace and grotesquely caricaturised characters hardly endear it to its audience.  It’s a pretty indigestible film which wastes an awful lot of great acting talent.
