Then you will probably also like this film. Another favourite of mine. Switch on English subtitles.
And this, its magic.

L'été meurtrier / One Deadly Summer / Ein mörderischer Sommer
Very French in its atmosphere, mediterranean mixture of relaxation, erotic tension and melancholy. The story is wicked and has a shocking dramatic twist like only few films have. This is not a teenager's wet dream movie of a hottie with no textiles on - its a psychothriller, and you can discover a depth in this term that before maybe had escaped your attention. And it ends brutally and nasty and tragic. Its title is no error. I saw it in a big movie hall that no more exists, the very big Royal Palast Kino 1 in (West-) Berlin (cant tell you how much I miss that one), it had for many years the biggest screen in the world which was build just for the panoramic picture size they shot Lawrence of Arabia in. And I was the only one in the whole huge hall on that day! That was so cool. In mid-week, and first show, so very early afternoon. Superb movie, very atmospheric. Not for overly prude viewers, though.

The trailer for this movie I cannot post in this forum since it shows quite some skin, you cna find it on youtube under "Un amour de jeunesse " or "Goodby First Love" or "Eine Jugendliebe".
Its a French movie and its quite artificially composed - and composed it is to the extreme. Every sentence spoken, every word used, every gesture, every event, the whole flow of scenes is relevant just liked they are set and used. Heck, even the words not spoken, what is not said, is relevant. I watched this film three times in a row, and later two more times before I felt I found no more new perceptions in it. The film tells how we find our first love in life, the excitement and arousal and the confusion, the ups and downs, and I am sure that most of us have experienced what then happens: over time we find that this first in tense love and yearning still is not what has the substance to last for a life, has not what it needs to survive the challenges of practical life, the differences between us and the other. We change, we move out, life changes around us. And still, many years later, like in this film, we may meet the other again - and all of a sudden we may bee helpless again as if we were on the first day again, a power of memories and hidden promises that keep power over us and render us helpless. How can something to which we are so helpless even years later nevertheless not be what lasts for a life? And so we inevitably grow a bit older again, anmd change again, slide into a new chapter of our life, a new love, and then, if we are lucky, the old fate that bound us na dhad us so helpless in it sface suddnely slides off our skin all naturally and by itself and gently, and we leave it behind and do not even realise it is not there anymore, like this film fantastically puts right this in pictures in the very end. I would not call this film the most entertaining one, its quite intellectual - but still it hits you right in the bottom of your heart if you allow yourself to be open, and you know that what this film says simply is the truth and a basic truth of our life it is. I recognised somehting in this film that is hard to put in words. I was very shaken at the end, but in a positive way, although that sounds absurd. I saw he endscreens and listend to the music and thoght: yes, this is true, andn right this way it is meant. The ending went deeply under my skin. So natural. So elegant. So smooth. So unnoticed. And like so much in life: so unexpected. This is how a film about adolescence and coming of age should be. Skin warning for the prude ones amongst you! I do not mind nakedness if it serves a natural or necessary purpose for the story in a film. What I do not like is nakedness that is just added to boost the ticket sales and merely puts its actors on display. The film has quite some scenes, but be honest: at 16, 18, 20 years sex was one of the things most of us have thouzht most about, right? Nakedness or not, I storngly recommend this movie, I think its really great. Cannes and Sundance festivals seemed to agree: they had it on their lists. End title:

These two movies belong together, in the posted sequence. They are true gems of film making.
Pure beauty, rapture. The end of the second though sends tears to my eyes and a lumb to my throat, still so after all these years. But that is a good: it seems there is still sensitivity in my angry Self. Only rarely gets literature transformed into film this artistically and fantastically. I know both books, too. You want to see these movies in French and with subtitles. Really, you want that. Usually I prefer German dub, but not here. In this case, the sound of the French language complements the beauty of the images.

One of Tom Tykwer's earliest films. IMO still his best.

A German Western. Or better: a damn good Western. In Switzerland.
