Synopsis
Best friends forever, Ginger (Elle Fanning) and Rosa (newcomer Alice Englert) have grown-up together and are now on the brink of adulthood, strutting their bathtub-shrunk jeans and flaunting their own brand of teenage existentialism. One fears annihilation, the other invites it. Ginger is preoccupied with the Cold War and the mounting threat of nuclear devastation. Rosa is defiant - her revolution is sexual - a form of protest that will irrevocably impact on their families, her future and ultimately, the girls' friendship. While Sally Potter's (Orlando; The Tango Lesson) intoxicating coming-of-age drama is historically specific in its 1960s London setting, its relevance to the current era of ill-defined protest and the question of generational legacy is palpable. The left-leaning adults - Ginger's carefree bohemian father (Alessandro Nivola), her frustrated mother (Christina Hendricks) and her mother's politically active friends (Annette Bening, Timothy Spall and Oliver Platt) all give lessons on freedom and responsibility that prove flawed and hypocritical when turbulent reality encroaches on idealism. Carlos Conti's understated design and Robbie Ryan's (Fish Tank; Wuthering Heights) moody cinematography amplify the sense of claustrophobic intimacy and underscore Potter's choice to evoke the 60s through mood and sensibility rather than by overt design.
