“Offers a distinctly cool, delicately nuanced study of a human being undergoing that strange process called 'growing up'.” - Geoff Brown, Sight & Sound
“Compassionate but never sentimental, MY LITTLE LOVES is an essential entry in the coming-of-age canon, a film that ennobles adolescence by so truthfully portraying its attendant indignities.” - Melissa Anderson, Village Voice
Saturday, July 8 at 3:30 p.m. | Eustache’s second feature is an autobiographical coming-of-age tale about Daniel (Martin Loeb), a young boy who lives happily with his grandmother in rural France, only to be uprooted and moved to Narbonne to live with his mother. Hanging out with older boys and discovering (and pursuing) girls, Daniel comes to several painful revelations about life, love, and sex before returning to visit his grandmother the following year. Beautifully shot in color by Nestor Almendros, MY LITTLE LOVES is as powerful and unsentimental a portrait of adolescent male angst as anything by Truffaut or Pialat. (Janus Films)
