Review and interview: BANG GANG - A Modern Love Story
BANG GANG
A MODERN LOVE STORY
RENDEZ-VOUS WITH FRENCH FILMS 2016
FILM SOCIETY OF LINCOLN CENTER
BANG GANG is is the name that a group of high school kids in a coastal resort town in France give themselves to mark their drug and sex parties.
Eva Husson, a French director making her first feature, tells this story dispassionately, neither casting aspersions on the students, nor celebrating them, but rather treating it as "a modern love story."
The film is well shot, nice looking, clearly told, and the acting by all the principals (see cast below) is terrific. You are sure to see much more of these actors in future films.
I talked with director Eva Husson about the film. Here is a part of our conversation.
The video can be watched as a "standard, normal" 2D video (left) or watched in 3D (right) using either Google Cardboard or Gear VR. (Other TV or VR systems capable of watching 3D YouTube videos may also be used.)
