Richard Brody New Yorker Issues of ethnic and political identity quickly overlap with the eternal dramas of adolescent self-definition and romantic rivalry as the students knowingly turn the movie into a sort of self-made "West Side Story." Nov 7, 2012 Full Review Read all reviews

DeWayne B A legendary film by Jean Rouch. Rated 5 out of 5 stars 05/29/23 Full Review Audience Member Interesting but too long for my tastes. Rated 3 out of 5 stars 01/20/23 Full Review Audience Member Rouch's first total experiment in ethno-fiction. It feels a bit long, and at times the improvisational plot seems to be influenced by American Youth pictures, but there's some arresting poetic moments. Rated 3.5 out of 5 stars 02/24/23 Full Review Read all reviews
