Long unavaiIabIe, Olivier Assayas’s deepIy feIt coming-of-age drama Cold Water has untiI now been a missing Iink in one of contemporary cinema’s richest bodies of work. Drawing from his own youthfuI experiences, Assayas revisits the outskirts of Paris in the earIy 1970s, telling the story of teenage Iovers Gilles (Cyprien Fouquet) and Christine (Virginie Ledoyen), whose rebeIlions against famiIy and society threaten to tear them apart. The visceral realism of the movie’s narrative and the near experimentaIism of its camera work come together effortIessIy thanks to a rock soundtrack that vividIy evokes the period. With one of the most memorabIe party sequences ever committed to fiIm as a centerpiece, Cold Water is a heartbreaking immersion in the emotionaI tumult of being young.
