Emerging Master Abdellatif Kechiche's 2003 film is about growing up lower-class and tough in the banlieues surrounding Paris. As the young protagonist Krimo, Osman Elkharraz is subtly moving, but it's arch drama queen Lydia (Sara Forestier) who really steals the show. Lydia hasn't got any more talent than her peers, but her wildly mannered performance as the lead in the school play (an 18th-century comedy by Pierre de Marivaux) betrays a star quality that inept line readings simply can't conceal. It's no wonder Krimo is so crushed out on her—I fell in love a little myself. By Annie Wagner
