Directed by Claire Denis • 1996 • France
Starring Grégoire Colin, Alice Houri, Jacques Nolot
One of Claire Denis’s most poignant films centers on the relationship between estranged teenage siblings Boni (Denis regular Grégoire Colin), a starry-eyed pizza maker, and his troubled younger sister, Nenette (Alice Houri), who turns to him for help when she becomes pregnant. With a dreamy, sensuous intimacy, Denis impressionistically evokes the inner worlds of young people navigating the highs and lows of adolescence.
