Naissance des pieuvres

A mystical and intensely eerie take on the coming age movie.

Kind of reminded me of Black Swan though there is no movie quite like it; the hypnotic, even dreamlike visual style captures lyricism and moroseness that play off each other.

It's a secret world of the girl, removed from the prying eyes of parents or guardians who don't appear at all, on a warped personal journey in pursuit of beauty and mutual love but does it all in such a breezy way that cuts out all the stuff that makes Lifetime movies insufferable.

I suggest watching it alone.
