action
Mary, a young girl whose mother died three years ago, is sent to a girls boarding school by her father and stepmother. She shares a room with Pauline (nickname: Paulie) and Victoria (nickname: Tori). Paulie and Tori are more than just good friends, they are in love with each other. When Tori's younger sister catches the two of them in bed together, Tori fears her ultra-conservative parents. She ends her relationship with Paulie and turns to a boy who is interested in her, following normal conventions.
The rebellious Paulie can't take the loss. She falls more and more into despair, also because her birth mother, whom she has never known, refuses the longed-for contact. She feels at one with a hawk that she has taken care of and throws herself from the roof of the school building.
background
The plot is based on the novel Bad Girls ( The Wives of Bath , 1993) by the Canadian children's author Susan Swan. It is the first English-language film by Canadian director Léa Pool, who comes from Switzerland . The film was shot in the Canadian province of Québec from May 23 to July 8, 2000.
The TV title is Lost and Delirious - Crazy About Love or Lost and Delirious - Enchanting Beasts . The film was released in German on DVD and VHS cassette.
Reviews
The lexicon of international films describes the film as “an enrichment in the range of high-quality youth films that is quite unsentimental, if not free from clichés.” According to Duane Byrge (in the Hollywood Reporter , February 2, 2001), the plot is thought-provoking and invites you to pity.
Roger Ebert described the film in the Chicago Sun-Times on July 13, 2001 as inspiring and moving.
