Trailer | Céline Sciamma’s Water Lilies.
Like Mean Girls, except French and gay

Of all the French films out this season, I’m most excited about Water Lilies. Check out this from Time Out New York:

Languid, sorrowful and strange, French filmmaker Céline Sciamma’s debut as a feature writer-director is a sensitive and daring portrait of female adolescence that’s curious about all longings, sexual confusions and grey areas of desire.

The Parisian suburbs and, especially, the guys and gals of a local synchronised-swimming club offer Sciamma a distinct canvas on which to plant Marie (Pauline Acquart), Anne (Louise Blachère) and Floriane (Adele Haenel), three 15-year-olds at once different and the same.

Water Lilies opens on Friday, April 4. Read an interview with the director on Time Out New York.
