Comedy / Drama
aka: 18 Years Old and Rising
Film Synopsis
It is on 10th May 1981, the very day that François Mitterrand was
first elected President of France, that Primo and Gabrielle meet for the
first time. Both are eighteen but they come from completely different
worlds. He is of humble origins, the son of a provincial shopkeeper;
she belongs to the affluent Parisian bourgeoisie. So impressed is he
by Gabrielle and her supremely elegant entourage that Primo feels he has
to pass himself off as something he is not. Unable to admit his lowly
status, he pretends he is a much more upwardly mobile individual. He
will need every ounce of daring and imagination he possess to keep up this
apparently harmless deception, or else he will surely end up making himself
look a complete fool...

Since the 1920s, Hollywood has dominated the film industry, but that doesn't mean American cinema is all bad - America has produced so many great films that you could never watch them all in one lifetime.
From Jean Renoir to François Truffaut, French cinema has no shortage of truly great filmmakers, each bringing a unique approach to the art of filmmaking.
American film comedy had its heyday in the 1920s and '30s, but it remains an important genre and has given American cinema some of its enduring classics.
