English title: The Evening Dress
You can count on one hand the recent films that get adolescent sexual awakening right. If you narrow that to female adolescent sexual longings, only a few stand out. Water Lilies, made in France in 2007 about a girls’ synchronized swim team, takes pride-of-place.
Next is the Argentine XXY (2007) about an intersex 15-year-old grappling with a sexual essence. To this distinguished short list add Myriam Aziza’s intimate drama of the 12-year-old Juliette (a sublimely natural Alba Gaia Bellugi) who feels herself irresistibly drawn to her French teacher Madame Solenska. This buoyant, slimly attractive, middle-age woman is played with supreme confidence by the Portugese folk singer who bills herself as Lio.
The Evening Dress, filmed in CinemaScope and gorgeous color, is a coming-of-age movie of rare artistry and integrity; it has the ache and melancholy of youth, coupled with a feminine sensibility that acutely captures how infatuation can suddenly shift to an awful desperation. We trust the director as we once trusted the instincts of a young Francois Truffaut in his beginning films with Jean-Pierre Leaud. Aziza fully honors that trust.
