Continuing her investigations into the everyday lives of women, Agnes Varda trains her expert eye on an unlikely scenario--a love affair between a video-game-obsessed 15-year-old boy, played by her son Mathieu Demy, and a 40-year-old divorcée (Jane Birkin). Based on a short story by Birkin, the film mixes fictional narrative and documentary styles to lend this odd love story depth and compelling sincerity. The match between the lonely and lovelorn Mary Jane (Birkin) and the somewhat oblivious Julien (Demy) provides for humorous scenarios and culminates in a piercing take on life and love. [More]
