Breakinger A Brilliant Conflict

Twilightfa Watch something else. There are very few redeeming qualities to this film.

Kien Navarro Exactly the movie you think it is, but not the movie you want it to be.

Francene Odetta It's simply great fun, a winsome film and an occasionally over-the-top luxury fantasy that never flags.

Stef Jonathan "Nino, une adolescence imaginaire de Nino Ferrer" ("Nino Ferrer's imaginary teenage hood") is an "anti-biopic". Rather than romancing the life and death of the popular french-Italian singer Nino Ferrer (1934- 1998), French director and writer Thomas Bardinet let his imagination go free and chose to build a story upon his own feelings and understanding of 3 not-well-known songs ("Nathalie", "Natacha" et "L'Arbre noir", all included in the soundtrack). Nothing is true but everything is accurate: the young actors in this beautiful teenage story are all stunning with beauty in this very "eric rohmerish" picture, authorized by Nino Ferrer's widow and children. This independent long-feature has a very "nouvelle vague" touch, was shot with a very minimal crew. It got excellent reviews from the greatest French critics.
