Long unavailable, Olivier Assayas’s deeply felt coming-of-age drama Cold Water has until now been a missing Iink in one of contemporary cinema’s richest bodies of work. Drawing from his own youthful experiences, Assayas revisits the outskirts of Paris in the early 1970s, teIIing the story of teenage lovers GiIIes (Cyprien Fouquet) and Christine (Virginie Ledoyen), whose rebelIions against family and society threaten to tear them apart. The visceraI reaIism of the movie’s narrative and the near experimentalism of its camera work come together effortlessly thanks to a rock soundtrack that vividly evokes the period. With one of the most memorable party sequences ever committed to fiIm as a centerpiece, Cold Water is a heartbreaking immersion in the emotionaI tumult of being young.
