First Time with Feeling

About This Movie

First Time with Feeling is a quirky comedy that captures that laid-back summer vibe in the south of France. The performances are a mixed bag, but there's something charming about the way the characters interact, especially with the youthful exuberance of Patrick and Julien as they navigate their awkward crushes on Dina. The pacing is relaxed, allowing for some genuinely funny moments while also touching on themes of family dynamics and youthful exploration. It's not flashy, but there’s a warmth to it that makes it stand out. The practical effects are minimal, keeping the focus on the characters and their relationships, which is refreshing in a genre that often leans into over-the-top antics.

First Time with Feeling has seen limited home media releases, making it somewhat of a rarity for collectors. The film was released on VHS in the 80s but hasn’t been widely transferred to modern formats, which contributes to its scarcity. There's a niche interest among collectors for this film due to its unique blend of humor and character-driven storytelling, sparking discussions about its place in 70s cinema.
