LOL

Lol is a French movie directed by Lisa Azuelos, written by Lisa Azuelos too and Nans Delgado, and released the 4th February in 2009. It lasts 105 minutes and it’s a comedy. The main characters are Sophie Marceau, Christa Theret and Jérémy Kapone. The film had success because of its humour, truth, energy.
It’s the story of Lola (Christa Theret), a 16-years old young girl, her friends, her lessons, her language, her first love and her first times, her laughters and her doubts…  It’s also the story of Anne (Sophie Marceau), her mother, who sees her daughter grow up and become a woman, of her loves, her rows and her laughs, her doubts as a mother and as a woman… It’s mainly the portrait of two generations of women who search to find themselves but always are full to the brim with love.
Lola lives her young person’s life in her high school, her bestfriend, Maël (Jérémy Kapone), becomes her boyfriend, she changes of behaviour, she goes to parties, in England… And her mother falls in love with a man after her divorce, she reads Lola’s diary, Anne  had not realized life’s daughter. And when Lola knows that, she is furious and sad, so she goes to live at her father’s home. Later on, she comes back and all is well.

Lol speaks about the Parisian teens in the XXI century, internet, sexuality and love… the life today. It’s inspired of a true story. It makes reference to La Boum because there is Sophie Marceau too, and there are sometimes the same songs.
I really like this movie because it the story of young people, teenage years… Sometimes there are scenes that happen in reality, I feel emotions, I am blow off by emotions, musics… It’s really realistic. And to the other side, it’s the story of a woman, and we see life in our society today.

         Lol means Laughing Out Loud (« mort de rire ») and it’s also the nickname of Lola.
Sophie Marceau is a star of the French cinema, she’s an actress and a director. In 1983 she had a Cesar Award for Most Promising Actress in La Boum 2. Christa Theret is young and she had really well played, she had too a Cesar Award for Most Promising Actress in 2010.
