Youth in Revolt
“Every "Revolution" Needs A Leader.”
As a fan of Albert Camus and Jean-Luc Godard, teenage Nick Twisp is definitely out of his element when his mother and her boyfriend move the family to a trailer park. When a pretty neighbor named Sheeni plays records by French crooners, it's love at first sight for frustrated and inexperienced Nick. Learning that she is dating someone, Nick launches a hilarious quest to find his way into Sheeni's heart -- and bed.
This film feels like a delightfully offbeat journey through the awkward pangs of first love and youthful rebellion. It's a charmingly idiosyncratic portrait of a burgeoning intellectual navigating the absurdities of adolescence, wrapped in a witty, visually distinct package. Expect a blend of dry humor and earnest romantic pursuit.
