Reviews:

A complex and graceful drama – among the finest French dramas of the 90s
On all fronts WILD REEDS is a top-notch drama – offering a look into the lives of 4 teenagers at a boarding school in rural France in the early 60s, this film is complex and immaculately well-made. Unusual in films depicting adolescence, WILD REEDS is complex and sophisticated, respectful of its’ characters’ varying sexualities (and their struggles to accept same), while also offering other glimpses of their intelligence and growing independence: views on the Algerian war, which was then raging, and on communism (with one character defined as communist, and another as an ardent anti-communist). The lush cinematography is summery and beautiful throughout, and the cast (most whom have gone on to other notable films) is great throughout.

Techine’s direction gives the many strands of this story a great, personal feel – the shoe store scene stands out as an honest depiction of an individual recognizing and trying to accept his sexuality, and attempting to identify other gay people, as a way of lessening isolation, and in an attempt at spontaneously finding some sort of role model. Very thoughtful and very well-made.

The movie of my life
It is absolutely impossible to make a film like this one without carrying out the personal memories of an our own teenage time. That’s why this so called ‘teenage movie’ is so far away from all other experiences within this field. Téchiné had written and directed a part of his own life. Villeneuve-sur-Lot, Paris, Lisbon, who cares? This is the movie of my life. And if it is so, it’s not only because of the unexpected beauty of all frames on the movie, but, essentially because that I felt every inch of the road walked by the characters of this film, as if their experiences, a long time ago, in a galaxy far, far away, were my own teenage experiences and hopes. I saw this film ten years ago, and still I can remember every image, every phrase… And I kept these memories as a guideline for a future life, when I was 23 years old. I know what I have lived, I still don’t know what the future reserves to me. But, on those days, ten years ago, I have increased my hope. I found that there was people like me, and like the others around me… The time and the place doesn’t matter. No film will never make me feel so strongly about my youth, and, simultaneously, about my future as a man. This is not a ‘teenage movie’, it’s a collection of memories about the construction of our personality. And, we all, with that age, were a little bit of François, Serge, Henri and Maite. And we still are. (…I’m sorry about my English…)
