June’s movie is Falcon Lake.
“French-Canadian actor Charlotte Le Bon makes a bold directorial debut with this haunting coming-of-age romance set during a summer vacation, straight from Cannes Directors’ Fortnight.
Based on Bastien Vivès’s 2017 graphic novel Une Soeur, this eerie, dreamy story of growing pains recounts the experiences of nearly-14-year-old Bastien (Joseph Engel), an awkward, earnest teenager who falls for the slightly older and more worldly Chloé (Sara Monpetit) while their families are vacationing in a lakeside cabin in rural Quebec. But it’s not just young love that’s in the air: something ghostly seems to be haunting the body of water and the surrounding forest. Amid their trepidation about the spectral unknown, Bastien must face the uncertainties of advancing adolescence.
Mixing menace and mirth, melancholy and magic, along with the enchanting chemistry between young leads Joseph Engel and Sara Montpetit, Falcon Lake is a magnificent first feature that lingers in the mind.” – Melbourne International Film Festival 2022
