there is such a thing as art house fluff- or do i, whenever i am watching film in any european language assume it to be art house? whatever.. ‘wild reeds’ was another one of those french countryside / beautiful young people coming of age / sexual awareness dramas; where a group of three young men and one girl grow up. the algerian war of independence in the early 60s is supposed to fomr the background for this story, and the device comes across as forced and facile. very lightweight easy viewing.
