A poetic insight into taboo sex
This haunting little 1989 film marks an early appearance by Vanessa Paradis who at the time was an ex pop singer and a future Mrs Johnny Depp. Her deeply affecting performance as 17-year old Mathilde holds together this story of infatuation between a middle-aged school teacher and his troubled pupil.

A minor masterpiece.
brilliant film about a teachers obsession with his pupil as played by vanessa paradis very haunting ending,well worth renting.
