Jeux d'enfants (2003)
Exquisite film
I rarely see foreign, or even arty films, but I honestly loved this movie. It starts off as a sweet memoir of childhood, then moves forward, gathering momentum and plunging head-first and fearlessly into a quirky perspective on love, friendship, obsession and sacrifice. The movie is somewhat of a roller-coaster ride, fast-paced and exquisitely filmed, and has much to offer in terms of artistic credit. It's probably not for everyone - some of the scenes are quite confronting, some of the humour is admittedly quite dark and even the ending seemed a bit abrupt for some of my friends. It's not a conventional movie, but if you can appreciate a bit of tongue-in-cheek humour, and the idea that love is just a game that adults play, then I'd highly recommend it. If you liked Big Fish (Tim Burton), you'll like Love Me If You Dare - fun story, beautifully told.
