Bonnaire (who, in her debut, &#8220;looks a bit like the young Diane Lane&#8221;) is entirely convincing in the lead role, playing a nubile teen who uses her burgeoning sexuality as a means of rebellion and escape from her dysfunctional family, rather than for intimacy and love. Just as the two young children in Rene Clement&#8217;s <a href=\"http:\/\/filmfanatic.org\/?p=1211\"><em>Forbidden Games<\/em> (1951)<\/a> cope with the war and death surrounding them through intricate burial rituals for animals, Bonnaire deals with her chaotic family life by escaping into meaningless affairs; as Peary argues, she does this not just &#8220;to hurt her parents for being <em>uncaring<\/em>, but also because that&#8217;s her only choice&#8221;. He concludes his review by noting that &#8220;long after seeing the film you [will] still think about [Bonnaire] and those like her who are forced to bring themselves up, long before they have the maturity to know what&#8217;s good for them.&#8221;\n<\/p>\n<p><strong>Redeeming Qualities and Moments:<\/strong><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Sandrine Bonnaire as Suzanne<br \/>\n<a href=\"http:\/\/filmfanatic.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2006\/07\/Sandrine.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/filmfanatic.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2006\/07\/Sandrine.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"766\" height=\"450\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-1236\" \/><\/a><\/li>\n<li>A realistic, if depressing, portrayal of a dysfunctional family<br \/>\n<a href=\"http:\/\/filmfanatic.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2006\/07\/FamilyLife.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/filmfanatic.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2006\/07\/FamilyLife.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"766\" height=\"450\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-1235\" \/><\/a><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><strong>Must See? <\/strong><br \/>\nYes, for Bonnaire&#8217;s affecting performance. <\/p>\n<p><strong>Categories<\/strong><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Noteworthy Performance<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><strong>Links:<\/strong><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><a href=\"http:\/\/imdb.com\/title\/tt0086650\/\">IMDb entry<\/a><\/li>\n<li><a href=\"http:\/\/www.timeout.com\/film\/79576.html\">Time Out Capsule Review<\/a><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/table>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>&#8220;It&#8217;s as if my heart had run dry.&#8221; Synopsis: A sixteen-year-old girl (Sandrine Bonnaire) becomes increasingly promiscuous in response to her dysfunctional family life.
