Film Preview: “Spring Blossom” de Suzanne Lindon
Directed by Suzanne Lindon. with Suzanne Lindon, Arnaud Valois, Florence Viala, Frédéric Pierrot, Arturo Giusi-Périer…
Suzanne is 16. She is bored with people of her age. Every day on her way to high school, she passes a theater. There, she meets an older man, and becomes obsessed with him. Despite their age difference, they find in each other an answer to their ennui and fall in love. But Suzanne is afraid she’s missing out on life – that life of a 16-year-old, which she had struggled so much to enjoy in the same way as her peers.
