Stella’s poster is in love, released this Wednesday, inspired us a quiz… beret and cinema! Can you find out which films belong to the 7 berets selected in this quiz? It’s your turn!
Stella’s story is in love: 1985, first summer without parents. The sun, the girlfriends, the Italians, the dream. Back to reality, for Stella, it’s the year of the baccalaureate. And even if she says she doesn’t care, she knows very well that it could decide her whole life… Rather die than take over her parents’ bar. Especially since, at home, her father broke up with another, leaving the debts and her mother depressed. Fortunately there are outings, nights, encounters, and then love to dream of another world.
When Sylvie Verheyde shot Stella in 2008, she had no idea of writing a sequel. The desire for this first film was triggered by her son’s schooling, which was very different from that which she knew. The director explains:I wanted to show that, even though I was a bad student, high school had given me an opening to the world.“
“For Stella is in love, it was again by observing what my son was going through that I wanted to retrace my own steps. Today, we see that the ax that separates teenagers and makes social class differences emerge comes after the baccalaureate, while in my time, it was in high school that it was felt..”
“It is also true that today there is less social diversity in Parisian high schools than in my time. In Stella, I therefore showed a young girl who was learning the codes of the bourgeois class. And in his sequel, my character feels this social class difference very strongly.”
Stella is in love, with Flavie Delangle, Marina Foïs and Benjamin Biolay, is currently showing.
