  • Summary: Teenagers bantering about seduction in their own words, tackling the fear of rejection, and learning how to love is the heart of Games of Love and Chance. It may take place in the Parisian projects, but this is a universal coming-of-age/love story. (New Yorker Films)

    Unlike American counterparts "Kids" or "Dangerous Minds," this highly intelligent comedy (which cleaned up at this year's Césars) doesn't seek to shock or inspire, but merely documents teen moodiness in all its tedious unpredictability.

    Beautifully observed tale of high-school kids in the projects outside Paris.

    It is a provocative and potentially rich premise, to be sure, but the execution here is somewhat lacking.

    Most original film I've seen in a long time. Great acting and directing. Best French film of the year.
