It's Camille's (Lola Creton) first big love, Sullivans (Sebastian Urzendowsky) probably not. She gives herself completely to her feelings, this first love relationship! Sullivan is 19 and also he loves very much, but there is also this other side in him. It would be too easy to write now that he didn't really want the connection with her. He simply has problems understanding what he is really looking for. Her parents know about love and also accept it. After all, this is also an important part of growing up. Only Camille's parents are a little worried about their obsession - and obsessive, that's Camille! They now spend a little vacation in their parents' house, where the sun reflects in the water and the trees rustle in the wind. A love idyll. But it's disturbing for Camille that Sullivan doesn't intend to go back to school after the holidays and wants to emigrate to South America instead. This is not discussed, it is a fact. Camille is devastated - of course! I think that the film is a bit too lenient with Sullivan, who is a selfish pig for me! At least he's young and thinks the world is all about him. While he is still preaching to Camille about a future together, he already knows that he will leave. Un amour de jeunesse is the third film by Mia Hanen-love, who herself was only 31 years old when the work premiered. The focus is on Camille over a period of eight years. Sullivan's journey through South America, on the other hand, we experience only through rice nails that Camille pinns on a map on her wall. At some point his letters are missing completely. Camille pulls the pins out of the map again and puts everything back into a box. She applies to the School of Architecture. Her professor Lorenz (Magne-Havard Brekke) becomes both mentor and lover, he is already a little older and more stable. But his thinning hair falls a little strangely over his face. And Sullivan? After we figure out what's happening to him, we react just as furiously as Camille does. In fact, Sullivan doesn't deserve it at all, but now demands forgiveness and understanding! Un amour de jeunesse is a nice and interesting movie. I even held back a lot of information from you! I just wish the movie would be more angry with Sullivan (at least instead of Camille). Her first love has at times almost psychopathic traits and I would understand that Sullivan reacts cautiously. But he has completely different reasons. I don't think he ever felt the depth of Camille. We think of first love as something wonderful and sweet. Hansen Love's film, however, digs much deeper. Here the first love is a tragedy.
