A raw, raucous, yet tender study of a group of black high-school students living in the banlieues of Paris, Sciamma’s third feature centres on Marieme (Karidja Touré), a shy 16-year-old who falls in with a crew of three tough-talking girls after her low grades prevent her from continuing her studies. In the face of peer pressure and the need to continually push the limits, Marieme finds herself navigating dangerous waters, but she soon finds a way to empower herself and assert her own voice. Highlighted by an already classic scene in which the “gang of girls” bonds by belting out Rihanna’s “Diamonds,” Girlhood is a major step forward that marks Sciamma as a singular talent.
The New Year is more than just a date change on the calendar. It often marks a turning point where the weight of past experiences is felt or the uncertainty of the future is faced. This season, Pera Film highlights films that delve into themes of hope, regret, nostalgia, and new beginnings.
