Alain E @AlainE Jul 22 Sympa as they say in France. The story has major inexplicable turns. A young virgin high school girl has painful and unsatisfactory intercourse the first time she decides to go “all the way “ while on summer vacation. As a result, her next step is to launch a career as a call girl! Eventually someone dies- not her. Marine Vacth, the ex model who plays the heroine is truly beautiful. The cinematography is much higher than the script.

Jumping ahead a few months, it is revealed that Isabelle is now a high-priced call-girl working under the pseudonym Lea, all while maintaining her studies and keeping the secret from her family. Francois Ozon's Young and Beautiful is a surprisingly tender, if not unorthodox, coming-of-age tale, featuring a strong performance from Vacht and some excellent production values. If there is one complaint it would be the fact that Ozon seems to avoid any explanation concerning the psychology or motivation behind what would cause a young girl to swing so radically from losing her virginity to prostitution, leaving the audience to draw their own conclusions.

It's very hard to understand the main character, but maybe the movie is about the inexplicable desire she has, maybe that's the point, the beauty and the poetry this story is trying to tell us about.
