Nénette et Boni

Claire Denis wrote and directed this compelling and sensual tale about two estranged teenage siblings, the sex starved Boni who's obsessed with his baker's wife and his pregnant sister who wants to give away her unborn child. Denis shows an authentic and honest look at troubled youth from broken homes. Beautifully filmed by Agnès Godard and a great score by Tindersticks. Grégoire Colin and Alice Houri deliver compelling performances as the leads. The cast includes Valeria Bruni Tedeschi and Vincent Gallo. YRCinema's coverage of films on DVD.
