"Wild Reeds"
1995
Directed by Andre Techine

In 1962, a group of teenagers  confront emotional, sexual and political turmoil provoked by both their own personal lives and the larger social framework of a small provincial town affected by the French-Algerian War. This engaging, elegiac film captures both the fleeting nature of youth and the profound turmoil of this intriguing stage of life.  Winner of Best Film Awards from New York Film Critics Circle, National Society of Film Critics and Los Angeles Film Critics Association.  Starring Elodie Bouchez, Gael Morel, Stephane Rideau, Frederic Gorny, Michelle Moretti, Jacques Nolot and Eric Kreikenmayer.  French with English subtitles. 110 minutes.
