Goodbye First Love15

Mia Hansen-Løve is one of the rising stars of European cinema and her third feature confirms her promise as the François Truffaut of her generation. Set mostly in 1999, 2003 and 2007, it tells a tale of the lingering intensity of an unforgettable first love. In 1999, fifteen-year-old Camille is infatuated with nineteen-year-old Sullivan and is convinced she has found her soulmate. When he leaves for a ten-month trip to South America, he promises: ‘It isn’t the end of the world’. It is for her and the film charts the haunting, unbearable wrench of separation from the one man she considered her soulmate. An achingly beautiful film with a star-making performance from Lola Créton.
