Customer Reviews of À Nos Amours

teenage, love and sex
Maurice Pialat died a few weeks ago and he can't be compare to any of the other french directors, if you would like to compare him to someone it will be to john Cassavetes.
Maurice Pialat wanted to film life like it is, he didn't care of the technique and the actors in his films are better than they've never been. The story shows the reality of the violence of adolescence. It's a really moving movie, the kind of, you can't forget when you've seen it once. It's done with human feeling and human blood, if you're the kind of personn who love films to be lively, alive, and beautiful, don't miss this one. If you're afraid of emotions, love, no love... forget it.
Pialat is doing the part of the father in this film.

Strange and oddly nerving family relations
This film starring the marvelous Sandrine Bonnaire is extremely difficult to rate, namely because I neither liked or disliked it. I simply found it odd. The story centers around a young girl(Bonnaire) and her endless search for how to relate to people. She goes through a number of relationships with men/boys, and comes out no different, and then this story is complicated by her relationships with her father and brother who both flirt with her. the mother is in this familial mess as well, bursting into brief rages in which she beats her daughter, then her son, then kisses her son and falls on her bed trembling. One doesn't know how to approach this film, because it is just so strange-which in itself is a compliment, since many of the films that are around are simply banal. See this film if you are in the mood for a kind of study or glimpse into an unusual family, and confusing times for a female approaching adulthood. Another moment for you to better understand the oddness in this film is when Bonnaire wakes up in the morning and is completely naked. Her mother enters the room and looks at her daughter commenting how she should wear more as Bonnaire just stares at her. Another is when Bonnaire invites a female friend to rest with her in her bed, and the friend states that Bonnaires father is handsome, and when Bonnaires father enters the room is is obvious how titillated he is by seeing his daughter and another girl in the same bed. Quite repulsive this scene is! These scenes give you a little insight into this film to help you better understand if it is a film you would be interested in watching. It is not a film that you leave gleaming at how wonderful or frowning at how terrible it is- you just leave quietly thinking.
