  A nos amours.
The biggest problem with A nos amours is it starts straying from the character study as the film goes on, going with a big family gathering down the stretch that has too little to do with Suzanne and too many characters that previously had little to no involvement.
There's no explanation or moralization, so when we see a shouting match followed by a scene where the characters are agreeable we simply must conclude that enough time has passed that they got over their anger enough to tolerate one another.
A nos amours falls shy of being a great film and Pialat's style is going to be too harsh for some viewers, but I appreciate it because it's challenging, different, and in it's own way rewarding.

 DVD Times - A Nos Amours   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-26)
In fact, certain elements of the plot of A Nos Amours are simply elided, as less important than the illumination of character.
Whether or not you consider A nos amours a high-water mark in 80s French cinema, it’s still a key film from a major director, and pretty much everything you need to know about it is included in this exemplary Criterion release.

Bridgewater currently splits her time between the U.S. and France and was recently made a member of the "Haut Conseil de la Francophonie," an organization which recognizes individuals on a global level who have made significant contributions to French culture and society.
J'ai Deux Amours is Bridgewater's 16th CD and is being released three years after her critically-acclaimed tribute to Kurt Weill, This Is New.

 The Brooklyn Rail - July/August 2006
A Nos Amours comes shortly after Godard’s study of oft-naked, aggressively deadpan French hotties (1980’s Sauve qui peut (la vie) starring Isabelle Huppert) and a decade before Krzysztof Kielowski’s trilogy of same, Troi coulers: Bleu (1993), Bialy (1994) and Rouge (1994).
Sitting through it today is an exercise in abstraction—there’s no story to hold the imagination, no human emotion save petulant anger, no recognizable interaction between men and women.
No one ever said that the New York Times was cutting edge regarding trends (in fact it’s practical wisdom that if a cultural trend is written about in the Times, it’s over).

 The Criterion Collection: À nos amours
With his raw style of filmmaking, Maurice Pialat has been called the John Cassavetes of French cinema, and the scorching À nos amours is one of his greatest achievements.
In a revelatory film debut, the dynamic, fresh-faced Sandrine Bonnaire plays Suzanne, a fifteen-year-old Parisian who embarks on a sexual rampage in an effort to separate herself from her overbearing, beloved father (played with astonishing magnetism by Pialat himself), ineffectual mother, and brutish brother.
À nos amours is presented in its original aspect ratio of 1.66:1.

Bonnaire plays a troubled woman who takes a wrong turn in an office building, then begins baring her soul to a man (Fabrice Luchini) she assumes to be a therapist, and he instantly is compelled to listen to her.
Amours launched Bonnaire's career with a César win, and two years later, when she was just 18, she received another one.
Her history initially is a mystery and eventually is unearthed to indicate this was no pre-ordained fate.

I've seen A Nos Amours described all over the Internet as his "best film" by people who apparently are taking that on faith since they haven't seen anything else by him, usually going on to then state that he was a minor talent.
And far from leaving no recourse to action, this understanding is where real action, and real love -- the basis of Pialat's films, "amour" as opposed to "nos amours" -- begin.
She goes through a number of relationships with men/boys, and comes out no different, and then this story is complicated by her relationships with her father and brother who both flirt with her.

 À Nos Amours : filmcritic.com Movie Review
If he's remembered for anything, it will certainly be this film, À Nos Amours, in which a 15-year-old undergoes sexual awakening amid her boring and sometimes hateful life as a teen.
À Nos Amours is a punch in the stomach after a fifth of whiskey, a horrorshow of sexuality where it simply shouldn't be.
Explaining how À Nos Amours succeeds as a thought piece on existential dread for new fathers is probably not going to convince any of you to see the film, but you ought to give it a spin.

 DVD Times - Mummy, The (1932)   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-26)
The flicker of Karloff¹s eyes and the slow parting of his crossed arms (carried out without musical amplification) in response to Bramwell Fletcher¹s reading of the Scroll of Life, just show how powerful and emotive a movie performance can be.
It is no wonder that, a few seconds later, Fletcher is left a jabbering idiot, as Im-Ho-Tep walks out into the night trailing his crumbling bandages (all that we see of Karloff).
The soundtrack has been left in its original mono and, although not as clean as with the Frankenstein transfer, there is no appreciable loss of dialogue (even if the musical score is very dull).

If you are not tuned into the French psyche, then you haven't got a hope of enjoying a film like A Nos Amours.
It's not that the French explore different life themes, or that they come up with original solutions to age-old universal problems, they just have that unique Gallic slant on everything - particularly the way people conduct their lives - which either enthralls you or infuriates you.

He wants to have sex with her, but she stops him, leaving him disappointed and suspicious that she no longer wants to be with him.
À nos amours is tough to watch because the emotions and actions are so raw, but it is a compelling story of a young woman coming of age that is not often seen on screen.
No Hollywood producer would have allowed such a drastic change while a scene was being filmed.

 DVD Savant Review: À nos amours
Teen angst gets down to the primal basics in Maurice Pialat's À nos amours, an affecting drama about a "beautiful young thing" entering the world of adult sexuality that's now considered to be one of the best French films ever made.
Many movies about young girls written and directed by older men conceive of their heroines as fantasy figures of one kind or another, perhaps "the one that got away." The suspicion also arises that the director may be using his young actress as a way of fumbling through a mid-life crisis.
Criterion's 2-disc presentation of the 1983 À nos amours has a perfect enhanced transfer of the handsome film that brings out its soft colors and warm flesh tones.

 The DVD Journal | Quick Reviews: À nos amours: The Criterion Collection
What makes Maurice Pialat's 1983 À nos amours ("to our loves") so remarkable is that the main character has sex without getting pregnant or suffering any dire consequences to her health.
Suzanne (Sandrine Bonnaire, in a career-making performance) first has sex with a sailor and finds that she likes it, but she abandons her then-boyfriend Luc (Cyr Boitard) to go from fling to fling.
Such could still place À nos amours in the male eye, but with a performance as real and as deeply felt as Bonnaire's, it does little to take away from a provocative and honest take on teenage sexuality.

 Maurice Pialat (1925 - 2003) - A Tribute
Alongside Rohmer's comedies, at the beginning of the 1980s, À nos amours is the only film that could have kept me from one screening to another inside a film theater.
But no, I've seen it elsewhere, in a scene from Le rayon vert (1986), say, discussing vegetarianism – with Rohmer, however, the emphasis is on the conversation; in Loulou we get to see faces, gestures, familial concern.
Pialat is the master of intangible day-to-day emotion: drunken falls and embraces, fights which bubble up for no reason, ennui sitting in bars, the fleeting joy of a shared meal – in short, the immediacy of life closing around us despite our plans otherwise.

 village voice > screens > À Nos Amours by Michael Atkinson
Offscreen space and time are so voluminous that what we see feels like chance encounters, life glimpsed through a passing train's windows.
The central movie in his scant canon, and a generational touchstone in France, À Nos Amours (1983) may be its nation's premier examination of familial breakdown (based upon the remembrances of screenwriter Arlette Langmann, sister to Claude Berri), and the greatest film ever made about the damage of awakening sexual power.
The Criterion prizes, on a separate disc, include an insightful critical doc about the film, audition footage, and interviews with Pialat, Bonnaire, Jean-Pierre Gorin, and Catherine Breillat.
