Matrixiole Simple and well acted, it has tension enough to knot the stomach.

Aedonerre I gave this film a 9 out of 10, because it was exactly what I expected it to be.

Michelle Ridley The movie is wonderful and true, an act of love in all its contradictions and complexity

Logan By the time the dramatic fireworks start popping off, each one feels earned.

paolo-cattolico This is a very deep and moving film.I saw it over 10 years ago for the first time and was fascinated, and I still am.The story is well constructed and follows the human rhythms, nothing is calculated or forced, but all is just terribly... real. It's an incredible story of love, loyalty, violence, integrity, doubts, with two protagonists at the limits of their lives. All characters are played by good actors, but the young girl and the professor (Vanessa and Bruno) stand out... what a performance! For me this is a masterpiece.

ravi_ranjan_4 must watch movie but not for faint hearted/ emotional ones like me.i'm so moved by the movie that at 5.12 a.m in the morning i'm writing this. all night i've not slept. i just wanted to distract my mind from the movie so that i could sleep. that didn't happen i will have to go to class at 7 without sleeping. why these touches our heart, when i know love is not anything. somebody is sad without it , others are sad with it. love just distracts your mind for some days , then when you adjust with it and ponder what next.......... and then you realize it was not what you wanted... perhapsacting by Vanessa paradis is outstanding, she is now the wife of Johnny depp......she is looking so gorgeous

davidpedersen This film was outrageous, about a teacher acting on the advances of a minor. Even though the minor played by Vanessa Paradis who was 17 at the time of acting this part was sexually aggressive this does not excuse the teacher, a man in the position of power, from allowing himself to be drawn into her web. The minor was a little mentally unstable but very intelligent and unconventional to say the least. He should have offered her love and support but not sex. This is an interesting film, though, very watchable if totally unrealistic and amoral.

rinatm I saw this movie for the first time when I was 15 or so (1992) and ever since then I have seen it at least another 7 or 8 times. This is true, you know. School girls DO fall in love with exactly these kind of ppl. Not everyone falls for the latest boy-band-model-of-the-year type. Some goes for the sophisticated, sensitive, reliable and wise men. I got the movie from amazon as VHS, and still hope that one day it will come up as DVD title. Most recommended, for those who want to see true love in the eyes of young girls.
