10/02/2003 - The discoveries and disappointments of a girl with lots of hopes and dreams is Christophe Blanc's 3rd feature, presented in Panorama

After Faute de soleil and Une femme d’exterior Christophe Blanc continues his exploration of adolescent sex with his third feature entitled Une grande fille comme toi ( A Big Girl Like You, screened in the Panorama section in Berlin.
The film is about the journey of a sixteen-year-old girl called Sabine from the French provinces to Paris, where she hopes to find a place to live her life freely. Unfortunately, the big city is not quite what she envisaged it to be in her dreams: it’s a jungle. Sabine soon finds herself in the middle of a sordid tale of unscrupulous men who want her to act in a porn flick.
A Big Girl Like You, starring a very young Mercedes Cecchetto, is the story of an initiation of a girl with big dreams and ambitions who does not understand the role society wants her to play. As a consequence she finds herself trapped in a male world that she – observed dispassionately by the director – is unable to escape from.
