One wild moment plot

broken image

Middle aged friends Laurent (Vincent Cassel) and Antoine (François Cluzet) go on holiday with their respective teenage daughters, Marie (Alice Isaaz) and Louna (Lola Le Lann). Remade in 1984 by legendary Hollyood director Stanley Donen as Blame it On Rio (starring Michael Caine, Joseph Bologna, a teenaged Demi Moore and Michelle Johnson in her debut role) from the French original In a Wild Moment (1977), it's a story of star cross'd love and lust it seems could only come from the French and not be supremely creepy as a middle aged man has a torrid affair with a teenage girl.

The idea behind One Wild Moment is such an idea. As this review was written, Bradley Cooper's A Star Is Born remake was about to be released, something of a reminder that – like One Wild Moment – some movie plots are so timeless (or maybe just marketable) a studio or director could conceivably do a remake every two years and find a new angle.
