GOODBYE FIRST LOVE French Drama ~ Art Cinema
110 minute run time | spoken language: French | English subtitles
Mia Hansen-Love returns with GOODBYE FIRST LOVE, an acutely perceptive
portrait of a bright young woman in the wake of her first romance.
Fifteen-year-old Camille (Lola Creton) is a serious girl who has fallen
in love with the cheerful Sullivan (Sebastian Urzendowsky), an older boy
who returns her feelings, mostly, but wants to be free to explore the
world. When he leaves her to travel, she is devastated, but develops
over the following years, into a more fully formed woman, with new
interests and a new love - and the possibility that she’ll be less
defenseless when Sullivan enters her life again. Hansen-Love’s follow up
to the award-winning THE FATHER OF MY CHILDREN is filled with scenes
that showcase her extraordinary ability to evoke moods and feelings. The
story of a young woman’s first romance is made into a singular
experience, familiar in its broad strokes and yet so specific that it
feels uniquely personal.
