Wild Reeds
André Téchiné France, 1994
18 days to watch
One of the great films made by the generation after the French New Wave, André Téchiné’s Wild Reeds, a four-time César winner, is a teenage drama electric with currents of sexuality and politics. The 1962 setting is precise (the Franco-Algerian war), yet the tensions live on into the 90s and today.
