French through and through - Boy Meets Girl review by Plastic Teaspoon
Young people wander the streets of Paris and discuss philosophy, sex and indulge in some petty crime. Sound familiar? I must have seen dozens of French films like this. This particular instance of the genre works well in black-and-white and carries it all off with some style. In the end I didn't come away with the feeling that I had seen something special, but I would say it is was worth making the effort to see.
