Print Suzanne of the French drama “Spring Blossom” is at that awkward age: not a girl, not yet a woman. It’s an age that’s been explored cinematically time and again; just look at the poster hanging in her room for Maurice Pialat’s 1983 film “Á Nos Amours,” starring Sandrine Bonnaire as another teenage Suzanne exploring her sexuality. But what’s different about the Suzanne of “Spring Blossom” is that she’s realized by a teen herself: writer, director and star Suzanne Lindon wrote the film when she was 15 and directed and starred in it at age 19.

Lindon is also the daughter of French actors Vincent Lindon and Sandrine Kiberlain, which some might perceive as a bit of a head start, but she certainly holds her own here. Lindon plays âSuzanneâ, a student from a loving, affluent Parisian family (in appearance she resembles a young Charlotte Gainsbourg). She doesnât lack for friends, but she is bored with her immature peer group. On her walk to school every day she starts to notice Raphaël (Arnaud Valois), a handsome, 35-year-old actor performing at the local theatre. He also seems bored.
