Review of À l'aventure (2009) by Christopher B — 13 Nov 2013
The heroine, seeing an opportunity to step away from the rat race, cultivates new friendships. These new friends all share her hunger for deeper, new-age openness in erotic expression; which turns to mysticism.
The one thread of sanity is the old man who finds a semblance of enjoyment chatting up women on a park bench. Of course he's a cabbie. This film retains many of the qualities of traditional French films while adding to the modern mythologies of Freudian fetishes and our blind enthrallment to learning only after an experience.
To sum up: the script writer, emotionally, is a 20-ish "expert" of the human condition. What can we learn here... ?
