Set Me Free (1999)
Emporte-moi
A coming-of-age tale centered on Hannah, a young girl who is living a troubled family life. Set in 1963, Hannah develops a fascination with Jean-Luc Godard's then-recent film "Vivre sa vie". As she begins to model herself after the film's lead role, Hannah slowly begins to explore the confusing nature of her sexuality.
🏳️🌈 Léa Pool's beautiful coming-of-age drama (originally Emporte-moi) explicitly features a prominent sáfic coming-of-age thread, tracking 14-year-old Hanna experiencing her first intense high school girl crush.
