What caught my eye was the double barreled pedigree of the film: in addition to director Julie Gavras, the film co-stars Julie Depardieu, daughter of Gerard Depardieu. <br /><br />Young Nina Kervel-Bey is fantastic as the protagonist, Anna de la Mesa. I would be very happy to cast her to play me at the same age! She's thoughtful, completely out of touch with children her own age, disgusted by the indignities of childhood, and confused and frustrated by the hypocrisies of adults.<br /><br />There's nothing precious about the film and it's so much more than a coming of age story. It's funny but it's also very conscious of the realities and discomforts of childhood. It struck me as an usually honest film. <br /><br />I highly recommend it.Shaula Evanshttp://theblackboard.blcklst.comnoreply@blogger.com
