Close-Up on Léa Mysius's "Ava"

When a film begins as confidently as this feature debut, you can relax, secure in the knowledge that the director knows what she's doing.

Critics reviews

Show all (5)
The plot runs away with itself a little at the end, but this is not unusual in a debut feature and there is so much to love in Mysius’ film. From the thumping drums and eerie atonality of the interstitial soundtrack to the blasts of Europop and soul, it sounds as good as it looks, and it looks very good indeed on 35mm film. The very last shot is the first shot where we see Ava break into a full smile as she drives off into her future, and it’s a smile you will feel like sharing.

A teenage coming-of-age tale full of twists and in possession of a weird rebellious spirit much like its idiosyncratic 13-year-old loner protagonist… Mysius, shooting with cinematographer Paul Guilhaume on 35mm, makes full use of its texture and saturated colours. Indeed, blackness is a frequent motif, including the black dog that Ava steals to be her companion.

Compared to, say, Marielle Heller’s recent American indie The Diary of a Teenage Girl or, to go back several years, Catherine Breillat’s Fat Girl (2001), this lacks moral nuance and complexity, but Mysius’ technique is unquestionably stylish and confident, and she coaxes strong performances from inexperienced and seasoned cast alike. Shot on increasingly rare 35mm stock by DP and co-screenwriter Paul Guilhaume, the film at least has a visual luster, intense palette and tactile quality.

    Draughtsman Without Contract

    As zesty as its teen protagonist is spiteful, complex and enterprising

  • Dada Kubin's rating of the film Ava

    Dada Kubin

    Absolutely wonderful film about the resilience and fantasy of young people on the verge of adulthood. Once again a film that shows that you can take common themes – last summer, sexual awakening etc. – and still give them a fresh look. “Ava” is told in adorably non-realistic style, almost like a fairy-tale, with beautiful pictures and imaginative sound design. And Noeé Abita is the perfect Ava.

    Aaken

    Teenage is a tough time, even more for 13 yo Ava who discovers during her summer holiday, that she will lose her sight. The young actors Noée Abita and Juan Cano are just perfect. Their naturalness, their youthful beauty are beautifully and sensitively captured by Lea Mysius. Radiant cinematography by Paul Guilhaume. (And I was saying to a friend that modern French cinema was usually not very striking visually...)

    El Biffo

    Just when I thought I had my fill of coming-of-age films, a delightful one like this comes along. But this is also a Love Movie, and I love that.

    anarresti

    This is a very surprising coming of age story. As if Lord of the Flies and The Blue Lagoon clashed in the bely of civilization. One idea of Agostinho da Silva comes to mind: that the true Good Savages are children. The coming of age is quite surprising since teen rage and outlawfulness never becomes nihilist, on the contrary. When it is directed at adults and "their" society, an idealism spurs: innocence.

    saitosouta

    îmbrățișat de către lumina soarelui în vară, imaginația unei fată indisciplinată se colorează în irizat, chiar dacă lumea ei o să fie vopsită în negru mai întunecat decât beznă. Acest film coming-of-age e despre o vară de neuitat a fatei. Capricios și temerar, în plus, asta câine draguț! // 夏の陽光に抱かれながら、少女の想像力は極彩色を帯びていく。例え彼女の世界が闇より暗い黒に染め上げられるとしても。今作は少女の忘れられない夏を追った青春映画だ。自由で大胆、そしてあの可愛い犬ったら！

    MATTEO BITTANTI

    Several films rolled into one: rebellious teenagers turn into Bonnie and Clyde (going blind) with magic realism aplenty and a touch of ballardianism.

    DrFirestone

    This is the rare case where a film manages to overcome a mediocre story and create something expressive, honest and emotional. It's a film about youth, self-discovery, love, desperation. But above all, it's a story of a romantic escape - go, live, with someone (both literally and figuratively). Beautifully shot with gorgeous colour processing, fantastic music and sound, great performances. Truly moving and memorable.

    We’re big fans of the “Greek Weird Wave,” and while figurehead Yorgos Lanthimos has decamped to England, there is still plenty perversely amiss in Greece. Makridis’s savage Sundance competitor is exemplary: its black humor, social critique, and clever, sun-drenched imagery are a wry provocation.
