Overview
Nuanced, enigmatic and thought-provoking, Young & Beautiful, the latest film from renowned French director François Ozon (Swimming Pool) is a portrait of 17-year-old Isabelle, a Parisian student. Set over a year and divided into four seasonal chapters, the film chronicles Isabelle's sexual journey from the awakening of her desires to embarking on a secret life.
Driven by a transfixing performance from the incandescent Marine Vacth, Young & Beautiful is both psychologically probing and unerringly graceful in its nonjudgmental restraint. It fuels our emotions, captivates our intellect and leaves us wondering whether our motivations can ever truly be known.
Young & Beautiful is in cinemas on May 1, but we're offering 60 competition winners the chance to see it with a friend at an exclusive preview screening we're hosting together with Incu on Wednesday, April 30, at 7pm at the Palace Verona (17 Oxford Street, Paddington). To enter, click here.
