About Les parents ne sont pas simples cette année
Parents are not easy this year. That's what 16-year-old Marie realized when she saw the mess her father, a general practitioner, and her mother were in. But Marie is more interested in dancing. The arrival of Laurent, a young student, will reveal her passion for choreography and, as a result, awaken the unconscious but tenacious love she has for Paul, her childhood friend.
Directed by Marcel Jullian, Les parents ne sont pas simples cette année leans on a strong ensemble — Henri Garcin, Alexandra Gonin, Florence Giorgetti — to carry a story that balances spectacle with character.
The film landed with audiences for its craft and performances, and remains one of the most talked-about screen titles of 1984.
