(France, 2004, 97 min., French with English subtitles)
Directed by Lorraine Levy.
It's the 1960s in suburban Paris, and sixteen-year-old Hannah (up-and-coming French film actress, Marilou Berry) is the ugly duckling of her loving, yet stifling, Jewish family. Hannah's big dream is to be selected as the double bass player for her school's all-male jazz band. But Hannah's real troubles begin when her dream comes true, as her male band mates will stop at nothing to make her life miserable. Infused with humor, and a fantastic jazz soundtrack, Lorraine Levy's directorial debut will leave you cheering for Hannah, a smart, funny underdog who uses equal doses of ingenuity and wit to outsmart those who would like to see her fail.
