The French Kissers

The French Kissers (2009)

Les Beaux Gosses

Hervé, un adolescente de 14 años poco agraciado, no muy listo y bastante compulsivo, vive con su madre. En el colegio, gracias a sus amigos, se las arregla bastante bien. Su verdadera obsesión es salir con una chica, pero sólo cosecha calabazas; a pesar de ello, no se desanima y, un buen día, descubre asombrado que le gusta a Aurora, una de las chicas más guapas de la clase. A su alrededor pululan los más pintorescos personajes: Camel, un fan del metal con fantasías similares; Benjamin y Meryl, dos adolescentes complejos y acomplejados; los prepotentes Loïc, Anas y Mohamed; Mahmoude, el inevitable cabeza de turco; Mégane y Sadia, dos chicas de carácter débil; Aurore y Laura, las guapas de turno conscientes de su poder sobre los chicos.

The French Kissers is a 2009 French teen sex comedy film co-written and directed by Riad Sattouf, in his feature directorial debut. The film follows Hervé, an average teenage boy who has little luck with finding a girlfriend until the beautiful Aurore takes a liking to him.

Production

Graphic novel writer Riad Sattouf had studied animation and had dreams of filmmaking, but he thought that it would be too exhausting to write and re-write a script, find producers, find funding and censor his ideas to please others.

Casting all of the characters in The French Kissers took place over three months. Sattouf cast the teenage characters through casting agent Stéphane Batut – whose team he described as "experts in casting teenagers" – and chose from taped auditions of 500 Parisian high school students. He did not want to work with professional actors who he feared would be egotistical and may have thought that he was not legitimate as a first-time director.

Filming of The French Kissers lasted for eight weeks. Some street scenes and interiors of Hervé's flat were filmed in Rennes, Brittany – where the film is set – but the budget was too small for substantial filming in Brittany, so Sattouf tried to find a college in the Paris suburbs that resembled his own in Rennes.
