Movie · 1982 · 3 people

Running 109 minutes, La Boum 2 was directed in 1982 by Claude Pinoteau as a French teen romantic comedy and coming-of-age story. It is the sequel to the 1980 film La Boum. Danièle Thompson and Pinoteau wrote the screenplay, and Gaumont produced it. Like its predecessor it did well commercially, selling 4,071,600 tickets in France.

The story concerns a young girl who falls in love with a boy and must face the question of making love for the first time. Claude Brasseur, Brigitte Fossey and Sophie Marceau share the leading roles, and the cast also includes Lambert Wilson, Pierre Cosso, Denise Grey, Sheila O'Connor, Daniel Russo, Zabou Breitman, Alain Beigel, Alexandre Sterling, Annette Poivre and Élie Chouraqui. In Spain and Latin America the film was released as Quince años recién cumplidos, and its German title is La Boum 2 – Die Fete geht weiter.

In 1983 Sophie Marceau won the César Award for Most Promising Actress for the film. It was also nominated for Best Music, for Vladimir Cosma's score, and for Best Supporting Actress, for Denise Grey. The group Cook da Books became known in many countries through the film's song "Your Eyes".

Through different eyes

Family Viewer Asks whether the whole household can watch it; cares about humour and heart.

A film about young love, with lovely music. But at the heart of the story is a young girl facing the question of sleeping with someone for the first time. That makes it unsuitable for watching with small children. Watched with teenagers, with a parent in the room, it could even be a good chance to talk about these things. The mood is romantic and emotional.

Yeşilçam Nostalgic A viewer raised on the classics, looking for warm storytelling and strong acting.

Among the youth films of the eighties, La Boum 2 holds a place of its own. Sophie Marceau's freshness lights up the screen, and it is no surprise that the role won her the César for Most Promising Actress in 1983. Vladimir Cosma's score and Cook da Books' song "Your Eyes" are the kind that stay in your head years later. Denise Grey's supporting turn was also honoured with a nomination. The story never strays far from the first film's path, yet it deserves to be remembered as a period piece that tells the thrill of first love with grace.

Cinephile Looks at script, editing and directing choices; keeps a distance from formula films.

Pinoteau and Danièle Thompson chose to carry on the winning formula of the 1980 original without tampering with it: the thrill of first love, growing pains and a strong musical theme. Commercially it paid off, selling over 4 million tickets in France. Cinematically, though, this is a sequel that takes few risks. At 109 minutes it can feel long in places for so slight a story. What really carries the film is Sophie Marceau's ease in front of the camera, which makes the César jury's choice of her as most promising actress easy to understand. Claude Brasseur and Brigitte Fossey lend weight to the adult side. Vladimir Cosma's score sometimes conveys the feeling better than the dialogue does. A carefully made but unsurprising example of its genre.
