Teenage sisters Anne (Éléonore Klarwein) and Frédérique (Odile Michel) couldn't be more different: introverted Anne is trying to understand the world around her as she's on the threshold of adolescence; while outgoing, politically aware Frédérique is beginning her first love affair. This coming-of-age tale, the debut feature of underrated French director Diane Kurys (Entre nous, Sagan), is an ode to teenage summers, first kisses and first losses. Offering an intricate view of adolescence in 1960s France, Peppermint Soda recalls Francois Truffaut's Les quatre cents coups and encapsulates the upsurge in liberality during this radical period. This blu-ray/DVD set comes with bonus features.
