A TEENAGE CHRONICLE BY JOYCE CAROL OATES AND WITH LAURA DERN ( SAILOR AND LULA )
AVAILABLE FOR THE FIRST TIME ON BLU-RAY
THE SUMMER OF ALL DESIRES AND ALL DANGERS
For her summer vacation, C onnie, a 15-year-old high school student in the midst of an adolescent crisis, is stuck in the countryside with her parents and older sister. Horrified at the idea of spending time with her family, the young girl prefers to hang out with her two best friends at the mall and flirt with boys. She ends up arousing the curiosity of a certain Arnold Friend, a charismatic and charming young man with ambiguous intentions...
Before inspiring many filmmakers such as 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. Embodied by the magnetic Laura Dern ( Sailor and Lula ) and Treat Williams ( Hair ), Smooth Talk is a sensitive chronicle of adolescence that goes from sweet fantasy to dull threat, leading to a disturbingly ambiguous finale. Winner of the Grand Jury Prize at the 1986 Sundance Festival, Smooth Talk is to be discovered for the first time on Blu-ray™ in its new 4K restoration!
