Brief Synopsis. Set in Southwest France, 1962, at the end of the Algerian War.

One of the great films made by the generation after the French New Wave, André Téchiné’s Wild Reeds, a four-time César winner, is a teenage drama electric with currents of sexuality and politics. The 1962 setting is precise (the Franco-Algerian war), yet the tensions live on into the 90s and today.
Wild Reeds. Available on Prime Video. The life of a teenager is one immersed in self-discovery. François (Gaël Morel) lives in the South of France during the early 1960s, as the Algerian War nears a close. He is close to a young woman his age, Maïté (Élodie Bouchez), and their friendship remains platonic.
