Summary: Definitely Good!
Review: Wild Reeds is a nice movie portraying adolescence and sexuality during a time of difficult politics in France during the early nineteen sixties. Francious(Gael Morel)is the lead character along with his platonic girlfriend Maite (Elodie Bouchez). The two are best friends, but Francious starts experimenting and coming to terms with his sexulaity when he comes to having sexual feelings for his classmate Serge (Stephane Rideau). This is basically the plot of the film with Francious yearning to be in a realtionship with Serge and dealing with the complications from his realtion with Maite. A typical French movie Wild Reeds is not a tawdry, action packed, sexually explicit film. It is a simple story of teenagers exploring sexuality through a rather difficult time. The cast is good and for those that are in to cute young men will find the two male leads appealing and sexy in the scenes where they are half dressed. If you liked this film you should definitely see sexy Stephane Rideau in the recently released Come Undone. A great film!

Summary: If you're looking for a powerful film, I recommend this.
Review: Wild Reeds is about a group of teenagers learning to live during the war in Algeria in 1962 where many soldiers died, including Serge's brother. It also focuses on François. Although he has a girlfriend, he learns- after a brief relationship with Serge- of his sexuality.Sience events like this happen even today in any country, this film will give you the courage to except the world around you and most of all, except yourself.

Summary: André Téchiné, the greatest !
Review: You won't forget this movie if you see it. You won't forget the brightness in the dark eyes of the young Elodie Bouchez, you won't forget these strong oppositions between the boys, you won't forget this brilliant and sensitive story within the deep and painful historical background (the war in Algeria in the early 60's, a durable wound in French people memory). This movie represents what you can still expect from French cinéma.
