Young and Beautiful (Jeune at Jolie) is a film directed by François Ozon, a director whose films I like. The story here is not really interesting but I love the close up shots, sets and costumes. There is this high school girl who doesn't really have any problems. A loving mother and a caring stepfather who is not a pervert. A brother who cares for her and a comfortable life style. She is smart, beautiful and priviledged. She has admirers at school and a nice best friend. However she decides to be an independent call girl. The film explores her experiences and how people around her react when they found out (one of her clients dies from a heart attack, possibly induced by performance enhancing drugs). It was interesting to watch but not as good as, say "In The House".
