(La Dentelliere).
Starring Isabelle Huppert, Yves Beneyton
Claude Goretta's warm, sensitive picture of two people longing to love each other but unable to cross their own barriers, is one of the most successful foreign films released in this country in recent years. Pomme, 18-years-old, a hairdresser's apprentice in Paris, has never seen the sea. Persuaded into a holiday in Normandy by her man-hunting friend, Marylene, Pomme is soon left on her own - which is how she meets Francois and embarks on a holiday romance that is to change her life.
