My Golden Days

Review by David Jenkins @daveyjenkins

Directed by

Arnaud Desplechin

Starring

Lou Roy-Lecollinet Mathieu Amalric Quentin Dolmaire

Anticipation.

This director certainly has his off films, but the good ones are sensational.

Enjoyment.

And this is one of his absolute finest. Such mastery, such passion, such control.

In Retrospect.

Don't be put off by the subtitles – this is one of the great modern teen movies.

This sublime teen romance evokes the heady passions that come from choosing between love and learning.

By David Jenkins

A bizarre choice of opening film for the 2017 Cannes Film Festival, but also an invigorating and impulsive one too.

Les Combattants

By Sophie Monks Kaufman

Adèle Haenel’s ingenue allure elevates Thomas Cailley's sweet-natured survivalist romance.
