A girl gang in a Parisian suburb roam the
streets, browse in Parisian shops, dance and drink and laugh, rumble with rival
girl gangs, push back on the macho and oppressive boy gangs. It’s a poignant
and disturbing look at the dynamics of urban girl gangs, the complexity of
alienation and yearning. Girl power, maybe, sometimes, but boys and men run
things.
It’s well done and a little too long as well as depressing but it’s worth seeing.
