(Jean Eustache, France 1974, 123 min., French/subtitles)

The title of Eustache’s cinematic memoir literally translates to “my little loves,” but there’s not much cute or sentimental in this story of a lonely adolescent boy taken from his grandmother’s country home to live with his mother and stepfather in the city. This wonderful, sometimes heartbreaking movie about the discovery of sexuality and adulthood features lovely cinematography by Nestor Almendros (The Wild Child, Days of Heaven).
