Short description
This loosely plotted coming-of-age tale follows the life of 15-year-old Laurent Chevalier as he stumbles his way over the burgeoning swell of adolescence in 1950s France. After having his first sexual experience with a prostitute and dodging the lips of a priest, Chevalier contracts a case of scarlet fever. When the fever leaves him with a heart murmur, Chevalier is placed in a sanatorium, along with his over-attentive and adulterous mother.
What's left behind the scenes
- Screenwriter and director Louis Malle (1932-1995) gave the main character many traits from his own past—a love of jazz, an interest in literature, the tyranny of older brothers, and even a heart murmur. However, unlike the protagonist, Malle himself grew up in the 1930s and 1940s.
