GOODBYE FIRST LOVE
October 10, 2013
The intoxication of a first love forever marks one’s life. And in the case of Camille (Lola Creton) in Mia Hansen-Love’s film, her profound attachment to Sullivan (Sebastian Urzendowsky) nearly breaks her youthful spirit when he pulls away. Intrigued by the larger universe, the easy-going, toussel haired man leaves for South America pitching Camille into a depression. The camera consistently pulls into Camille's her face, studying it and magnifying her pain. Over the space of eight years, Camille studies architecture and falls in love with her older – but very cosmopolitan—instructor. When Camille begins to focus on the development of her own life, watery blues and clear white colors dominate the films palette, a sort of cooling off emotions and recognition of adulthood. A finely calibrated cast contributes enormously to this thoroughly engrossing film. (Originally appeared as part of the NY Film Festival)
