Zlotowski’s
Belle Épine is a coming of age story about a teenage girl dealing with the death
of her mother and absentee father. The girl loses herself in antisocial
behavior, turning away from her Jewish heritage personified by her supportive
aunt and uncle, and drawn into the orbit of a wrong-side-of-the-tracks classmate
and her biker friends, who gather for chaotic, sometimes lethal night-time
motorcycle meets on the edge of town. The film won the prestigious Prix Louis
Delluc and was nominated for a César Award for lead actress Léa Seydoux. The
strikingly intimate portrait of a seventeen-year-old girl follows her transition
from disaffected youth to premature adulthood with astute psychological
observation.
