AroView: Pas de Vagues is a French drama of serious integrity based on true story of a dynamic teacher (François Civil) whose passion for romantic literature sees him accused of sexual misconduct by a female student.
The insidious accusation is soon out of control, and his attempts to quell it with commonsense are further complicated by his private life as a gay man. This erosion of idealism might be a theme too pessimistic for some tastes, but it speaks volumes about modern culture fostered beyond the classroom, and the limits and challenges presented to educators in these tricky times.
”(Writers) Lussi-Modeste and Audrey Diwan (Happening) avoid cliche in a layered approach to a narrative that could easily have opted for simplistic solutions.” ~Meredith Taylor, Filmuforia
