A surprising new talent has suddenly appeared. Like Venus emerging from the sea, Suzanne Lindon, age 20, has jumped to the front of the line with her first film, “Spring Blossom” which she wrote, directed, and starred in. It’s not that the film is flawless or will enter the canon of storytelling but this very young woman has taken the “coming of age” trope and found a new, and interesting angle.
Suzanne is bored; bored with school, friends, and her surroundings. Then one day as she passes a theater on the way to school a young man catches her eye. She starts looking for him whenever she passes by. She notes details about him—his dress, his motor bike, what he eats in the café. Her head is turned and she sets out to capture him. She is 16 and he, an actor at the theater she passes, is more than twice her age. It is a slow dance and she’s not in a hurry. And then he notices her.

IT takes time to work yourself into a position in the film industry that someone is willing to write your name on a clapperboard. Directors at the helm of major releases are rarely in their 20s, allowing them a wisdom when creating a vision the cinema-goer will recognise and therefore buy into the narrative.
Suzanne Lindonâs debut feature,
Spring Blossom, is remarkable from the off.
The 20-year-old, who is also the lead, has created a polished and thought-provoking story about a school student falling in love with an older man.
Suzanne (Lindon) lives with her parents (Florence Viala and Frédéric Pierrot), and her self-assured big sister in Paris.

Spring Blossom, from 20-year-old writer-director-star Suzanne Lindon, tells the story of a teen girl's infatuation with an older man. A young, female perspective on this subject is welcome and timely, but Lindon's film is ultimately unsuccessful
★★ Film title: Spring Blossom Starring: Suzanne Lindon, Arnaud Valois, Frédéric Pierrot, Florence Viala
Just a year after the Roman Polanski controversy at the Césars might seem a bad time to release a film centring on a love affair between an adult man and a teenage girl, but
Spring Blossom is more subversive than its synopsis might suggest. Less forbidden romance than chaste coming-of-age tale,

In a year when festivals will hope for the return of audiences, industry and some sense of normalcy,
Screen rounds up key contenders vying for the attention of programmers from France, Benelux, Nordics, Italy, Germany, Spain, Central and Eastern Europe, and Russia. (*denotes film previously appeared in Screen’s 2020 list)

Dir. Leos Carax
Carax’s long-awaited Los Angeles-set musical comedy co-stars Marion Cotillard and Adam Driver as an opera singer and a stand-up comedian, who are parents to a baby girl with a special gift. It is based on a screenplay by fraternal pop and rock duo Ron and Russell Mael, founding frontmen of cult band Sparks. Hopes are high that Carax’s first feature in nine years will premiere at Cannes.
