This irreverent, absurdist comedy overtly steals the spirit and style of a sacred tradition of French New Wave cinema, romanticizing its ethos while charmingly parodying the stereotypes that populate Gallic movies. From the Quinzaine, a summery dose of pure Frenchness.

Few filmmakers are able to bottle the intoxicating feeling of misfit adolescence like renegade director Larry Clark. Collaborating with long-time muse Jonathan Velasquez, he zeroes in on kids who drift from electric impulse to illicit high in this fifteen-minute short of stylishly grungy ecstasy.
