BANG GANG (A MODERN LOVE STORY) – OPENS JUNE 17TH

Director: EVA HUSSON

98 mins, France, 2015, Digital, Subtitled


This film was released 17th June 2016, and is no longer screening.

Where 16-year-old George (Marilyn Lima) is outgoing and sexually aware, her best friend Laetitia (Daisy Broom) is shy and virginal. Both are interested in class lothario Alex (Finnegan Oldfield). When George sleeps with Alex, she secretly hopes that it is the beginning of something serious.

Alex is currently living alone in his large family home, which has become the place for his classmates to gather and party. When George walks in on his seduction of Laetita, she, seeking revenge and hoping to hurt him, initiates a game of “Truth or Dare, with only dares” amongst the others present. Over the following weeks, more and more classmates join the “Bang Gang” as the parties become mere excuses for orgies.

The film charts unexpected paths for its protagonists, and, refreshingly, presents their sexual explorations as an entirely natural step towards maturity. (Notes by Kevin Coyne.)
