Wild Reeds (André Téchiné, 1994)

Élodie Bouchez and Gaël Morel in Wild Reeds

Cast: Gaël Morel, Élodie Bouchez, Stéphane Rideau, Frédéric Gorny, Michèle Moretti, Eric Kreikenmayer. Screenplay: Olivier Massart, Gilles Taurand, André Téchiné. Cinematography: Jeanne Lapoirie. Production design: Pierre Soula. Film editing: Martine Giordano. François (Gaël Morel), a student at a boarding school in France in 1962, is beginning to come to terms with his sexuality. His only real confidante is Maïté Alvarez (Élodie Bouchez), whose mother is François’s French teacher, but he’s strongly attracted to Serge (Stéphane Rideau), an Italian immigrant whom François helps with his assignments. One night, Serge welcomes François to his bed and, out of curiosity, has sex with him, though he later tells François that he’s really attracted to Maïté. Serge’s bother, Pierre (Eric Kreikenmayer), is serving in the army in Algeria, where the war is coming to an end, but not the bloodiness, as the right-wing OAS, a group resisting Algerian independence, is still committing terrorist acts. The film opens with Pierre’s wedding, at which he pleads with Mme. Alvarez (Eric Kreikenmayer), a member of the Communist Party and a strong supporter of independence, to help him desert from the army. She tells him she’s unable to do anything to help him, and when he is killed in Algeria she suffers a mental breakdown. Meanwhile, a new student, Henri (Frédéric Gorny), from a family that supports the OAS, comes to the school, and although he’s violently opposed to the political position that she shares with her mother, he, too, falls in love with Maïté. The volatility of this mix is obvious, as each of the four young people has to sort out his or her relationship – political and/or sexual – with the others. The film is at its best in portraying François’s sexual confusion, particularly in a scene in which he approaches an older man he has been told is gay and asks for advice and help. The man is, understandably, confused and not very helpful.

Wild Reeds - Let No Grief

The thing I love most about music is catching a glimpse of the emotion the artists invest into their craft.  The three co-leads of Wild Reeds wear it on their sleeves and pour their hearts into their harmonies.
