WHITE WEDDING

A teacher of philosophy discovers a complicated pupil, a seventeen year old girl with a quite cynic and lucid view of the world. He gets involved in helping her to follow the routine of the study, but soon he is fascinated by her and they fall in a passionate love.

The first feature film role for Vanessa Paradis also marks the popular apex of director Jean-Claude Brisseau, whose sensual, magical-surrealist interpretation of cinematic realism is both his hallmark but also may be the reason for his under-known reputation outside of France. A shimmering rarity.
