Review 4K Movie

Claude Miller, who took on his shoulders, albeit unwittingly, the title of heir to the traditions of François Truffaut, began to do the same as the maestro - to shoot pictures about growing up and the complexities of adolescence. Perhaps the brightest of the “discovered” by him actresses - the current favorite Trier Charlotte Gainsbourg: if at first the glory went ahead of her, now in the talent of the daughter of Jane Birkin no one doubts. “Cheeky girl” brought Charlotte ‘Cesar’ for the most promising debut, which can not help but smile: for boorish and selfish behavior on the screen is quite possible to get not the last award in the world of cinema, while in life such a Charlotte would hardly snatch anything but a life-giving flogging paternal belt.

As a basis for the script Miller used Carson McCullers novel “The Wedding Party”, which was thoroughly revised - in any case, if you compare this picture with the adaptation of Zinnemann, the difference is visible to the naked eye. To replace the older brother and his fiancée, with whom the heroine dreams of leaving, came a talented young pianist, in a burst of tenderness promised Charlotte golden shores and the position of his agent. For the girl, declaring maxims in the spirit of “How can you live in such a hole, miserable bourgeoisie, here everything is so shallow and bumpy,” the possibility of escaping from the hole and get into a wonderful new world has become a fetish: and so Charlotte brags sincerely attached to her neighboring little girl Lulu, that soon will say “adieu” to the hated town.

To some, such childish gullibility will seem ridiculous, but a teenager who grew up without a mother and surrounded by uninteresting, unremarkable people cannot do without saving illusions. Of course, they collapse, and of course, suffer in this case close people doomed to become the object of vomiting impotent anger. Teenage illusions and their collapse in general is such a fertile topic for conversation that movies on this topic, perhaps, will never run out. But the best quality films are made by those who know how to be not indifferent contemplator, but a person who genuinely loves his characters and empathizes with them. For this reason, Miller has almost no weak movie about teenagers - like any good director, he makes movies about those he loves and understands.

Those who are waiting for exciting adventures and the usual glossy heroes, the picture risks not to like - it simply tells about one unfulfilled dream of a rather nasty girl, no more and no less. But those who are interested in the legacy of the new wave “Bold Girl” is definitely worth watching - it is so close to life and in a good unsophisticated way, that rarely anyone will not see in it their own dreams and remember the first disappointments.
