Young & Beautiful (2013)
Young & Beautiful, originally titled Jeune & Jolie, is a 2013 French coming of age drama written and directed by François Ozon. The film follows Isabelle, a 17-year-old student whose private choices lead her into an increasingly complicated double life while her family remains largely unaware of what she is going through.
The film competed for the Palme d’Or at the 2013 Cannes Film Festival, where Cannes described it as a portrait of a 17-year-old French girl told across four seasons and four songs. Because the story deals with mature sexual themes involving a teenage character, it is intended for adult audiences.
