The Aviator's Wife
Why this pick
This playful, talk-rich Parisian pursuit shares the pleasure of watching youthful assumptions collide with adult romantic ambiguity, without forcing its emotions into melodrama.

01 / THE STORY
A little about the film.
A car pulls up in front of a wooden gate. Teenage Pauline (Amanda Langlet) gets out of the car to open the gate to allow her older cousin Marion (Arielle Dombasle) to drive inside their family's vacation home on the north-western coast of France. As the girls settle into their trip, Marion quizzes Pauline on her love life, and Pauline confesses that she has not had any serious affairs of the heart.
