A TEENAGE CHRONICLE AFTER JOYCE CAROL OATES AND WITH LAURA DERN ( SAILOR AND LULA )
AVAILABLE FOR THE FIRST TIME ON BLU-RAY
THE SUMMER OF ALL DESIRES AND DANGERS
For her summer vacation, C onnie, a 15-year-old high school student in the middle of an adolescent crisis, is stuck in the countryside with her parents and her older sister. Horrified at the idea of spending time with family, the young girl prefers to hang out with her two best friends at the mall and flirt with the boys. She ends up arousing the curiosity of a certain Arnold Friend, a charismatic and flirtatious young man with ambiguous designs…
Before inspiring numerous filmmakers like Laurent Cantet ( Foxfire, Confessions of a Girl Gang ) or Andrew Dominik ( Blonde ), the tortured world of novelist Joyce Carol Oates had already been the subject of a remarkable adaptation by American director Joyce Chopra. Played by the magnetic Laura Dern ( Sailor and Lula ) and Treat Williams ( Hair ), Smooth Talk is a sensitive chronicle of adolescence which goes from sweet fantasy to dull threat, leading to a disturbingly ambiguous finale. Grand Jury Prize at the 1986 Sundance Film Festival, Smooth Talk can be discovered for the first time on Blu-ray™ in its 4K restoration!
