official description

A bracing success in the career of its often grievously overlooked director Maurice Pialat, À nos amours not only won the César (France's Academy Awards®) for best picture of the year but established a paradigm for French art cinema that would be inherited by such acclaimed filmmakers as Olivier Assayas, Arnaud Desplechin, and Pialat's former collaborator Catherine Breillat. Teenaged Sandrine Bonnaire became an international star as a sixteen-year-old who searches for oblivion in sex, attempting to find the love denied by her family—including the director himself as the alternately brutish and loving clan patriarch—in an increasingly promiscuous series of affairs. Emotionally raw, superbly acted and undeniably potent, À nos amours is an unforgettable coming-of-age tale from one of France's long unrecognized masters.
