La Belle Personne
- Drama
- Comedy
In the wake of her mother's tragic death, French teenager Junie transfers to a different high school. Though Junie lives mostly inside her own head, her beauty and stoicism win her the attention of the entire male student population. Junie begins dating the gentle Otto Cleves, but finds herself intensely drawn to her youthful Italian language teacher, Nemours. When Nemours begins to reciprocate, serious complications ensue.
The Beautiful Person is a 2008 French drama-comedy following Junie, a teenage girl navigating grief, identity, and complicated romantic feelings after transferring to a new high school. Directed by Christophe Honoré, the film explores how Junie's quiet introspection contrasts with the attention her beauty draws from those around her, particularly two very different men.
