NOTES
Title from title frames
In the vein of such classic coming of age films as Francois Truffaut’s *The 400 Blows*, Diane Kurys’s PEPPERMINT SODA captures a particular moment in the tumultuous life and development of young teens. Anne and Frederique are sisters entering their teen years in 1963 France, torn between divorced parents and struggling with the confines of their strict school. Along the way, they undergo an awakening both political and romantic. Nominated for Best Sound at the **César Awards** and for Best Foreign Language Film at the **New York Film Critics Circle Awards.** *"Kurys, at the time a disillusioned actress-writer who reportedly had never held any kind of camera before, showed a remarkable assurance visually and rhythmically when mixing the serious with the playful." - Robert Abele, **The Los Angeles Times***
