To our Loves
A nos Amours
Maurice Pialat
Suzanne is fifteen years old. She goes out most of the time with her best friend Anne, and likes to sleep with boys, but hesitates to commit to a love in which she doesn't seem to believe. She is stifled by her family, caught between a hysterical mother and a violent and protective brother. She loves only her father, though he poorly understands her. One day, he announces that he is leaving the family.

This film owes its creation to another script written by Arlette Langmann, Les filles du faubourg, a vast tableau that takes place over a number of years with a cast of a half-dozen adolescents. To Our Loves is famous for having revealed the young Sandrine Bonnaire, sixteen years old at the time. Pialat, who played the role of the father, made particular use of improvisation in the film's shooting. "Improvisation is very important to me. Even if I wanted to - I wouldn't say fall in line, but rather - return to more classic cinematic methods, without a doubt I would still find a way to create those very special moments." (M. Pialat)
