Gutsy cinema that breaks new ground
FRANCE | 106 minutes | 2018
For his first feature, Jean-Bernard Marlin offers up a sweetly captivating love story between Zachary and Shéhérazade, two teens growing up in rough-and-tumble Marseille. Employing a group of young, non-professional actors and raw, kinetic camera work, the director imbues his film with rare authenticity, never once falling into the trap of voyeurism. In this hard-hitting plunge into the lives of small-time hoodlums, the director recounts the tragic fate of young delinquents and celebrates a touching love story in a cosmopolitan city.
