Va, petite!

About This Movie

So, 'Va, petite!' is this curious little gem from 2003 that really captures the essence of youthful rebellion and the search for identity. Marie, at just twelve, is thrown into that classic boarding school scenario, but she’s not having any of it and runs away. Then there's François, a man in his mid-thirties who’s been adrift—quite literally for five years—trying to find that dream woman. The film has this surreal quality, blending the innocence of childhood with the complexities of adult life. The pacing is a bit uneven, but it gives it a raw edge, you know? And the performances, while not showy, really draw you into these characters’ struggles and desires, making it stand out in its own right.

This film is somewhat of an obscure find, not widely available, which adds to its allure for collectors. It hasn't seen many releases, so original copies can be quite scarce. Interest can vary, but those who appreciate European cinema and its explorations of youth may find 'Va, petite!' an intriguing title to seek out.
