After years apart, the star-crossed lovers discover that every road they take leads them back to each other
Narrative
Local teen rebel Clotaire falls in love with his schoolmate Jackie, but gang violence leads him down a darker and more destructive path. Malik Frikah, who plays 17-year-old Clotaire in the film, became a world breakdancing champion at the age of 10. old..
The acting is very good
One of the characters wears a Rolex Daytona Ceramic watch from the 90s, but the watch was not released until 2016.. MainsMusic: Gilbert Bécaud, Lyrics: Pierre Delanoë. The film is very long and quite uneven between the first part, in which the characters are teenagers, and the second, ten years later.
Adele and François are top-notch
The young actors are fresh and authentic. Alain Chabat is a big teddy bear and as always you want to punch Benoit Poolvoorde. The background music really sets the tone for the 80s in a small industrial French town.
Mostly British and American songs but set in the era
I finished the film with a smile on my face. It’s not the best film of the year but it’s a beautiful, crazy and passionate love story. Despite the bumps, you follow Clotaire and Jackie the whole way.
