Description:
When 14 year-old Delphine falls in love for the first time, she is willing to make the ultimate sacrifice in order to keep him.

Amazon.com:
Jean-Pierre Ameris's 1999 feature Bad Company is a solid, unusually measured drama full of reversed expectations. It is a film about hidden, adolescent torment and the rise of a secret life lived beneath the radar of trusting parents, yet it is an exceptionally bright, pretty, and visually extroverted production. Its subject concerns doomed romanticism, but it is finally an adamantly romantic movie. Two 16-year-old girls, the sheltered Delphine (Maud Forget) and emotionally isolated Olivia (Lou Doillon), pair up as unlikely friends, delve into sexual exploration with a couple of creeps, and agree to let the latter pimp them off in an absurd quest to raise traveling money. One might expect a lot of grit and shock here, but Bad Company is more interested in the elasticity of youthful experience and durability of human dignity. The intense, highly focused performances of the two young leads (Doillon is the daughter of actress Jane Birkin) are remarkable. --Tom Keogh

- Excellent
This picture takes you to a trip through the bitter side of adolescence. Delphine, 14 years old is the main character played wonderfully by Maud Forget. A very realistic teen drama. Don't miss it !!!

- Extremely Powerful
Definitely, a hard film to make. Ameris did a great job, and so did all the actors. The theme explored is truly sad. I should say that director Ameris deserves a big credit for the treatment of such a complex subject.

Two adolescent girls. One quite wild and lonely. The other, shy and under care and love. Both, an explosive mix that becomes the ultimate bomb. A bomb that will reveal the lowest of lowest human nature can go, and, alas, ultimately, the amazing capacity we all have to heal.

Set in actual France, the film hangs from one line of text: if I do this for love, it's worth it. I really don't like to spoil anything, so when you approach this film, do it with a big dose of love. Things will get dark, and I mean, really dark. You will find how human nature is always the same, but sometimes, it's simply sad to know that even it's most perfect expression of humaness, love, can be misjudged ... Read More
