You have to be a bit French minded to understand that the description of the movie here as somehow related to pedophelia is a bit if inane commentary based on ignorance of the facts. You could make such a statement based on the fact that the young lady in question is in her mid teens at 14 But then some cultures have been known to marry off their females once nature has given them an okay at the age of 13 given the signs of puberty. When this is done in a way that is abusive demeaning and a violation of the best real interests of the individual we call it uncivilized. On the other hand You might recall that Prime Minister Trudeau of Canada had a liason with a young woman of 18. The fact that the girl in this movie is perhaps 4 years (or less) younger, suggests that the matter needs examination. Ultimately what this movie is about is love and romantic entanglement in a situation with limited options for longevity. Fact is that the characters are exploring real romantic attachment rather than abuse that can occur between people in the same or different age ranges on to another. So to base your judgement on nothing more than the difference of age is in fact dishonest and that is something the French have had the wisdom to reject as the most humanistically astute people there have ever been. French with English subtitles I saw this movie decades ago and it has never left me. See it!Read full review
For those of you that enjoy French dramas this is a film you'll enjoy. Unfortunately this is one of the few DVD's that has the advantage of English subtitles for this film but the quality of the Kino Lober dvd is a direct transfer from video, the more recent Canal + version picture quality is far superior for the fluent French speakers, no English subtitles on this version. However the sound quality is roughly the same. I haven't reviewed the film because if you've heard of it you will know what it's about. If not, read the reviews on the internet.

This is a very daring film from 1981 but also quite interesting. I like the way it deals with age issues in a very sensitive way. I didn't pay a great deal for mine, it was good value so shop around
