Directed by Mia Hansen-Løve | 110 mins | 2011
As in her first two features, Mia Hansen-Løve’s third reckons with the psychic fallout of a young woman abandoned by a man she loves—here, not a father but a lover. Camille, 15 (a radiant Lola Créton), is blindsided when her boyfriend, 19-year-old Sullivan (Sebastian Urzendowsky), reveals that he’s soon to depart for South America. Spanning the subsequent eight years, the film offers an uncommonly keen and sensual study of first love’s potency.
