About this product

Product Information

In his second feature film, director Ziad Doueiri (WEST BEIRUT) takes on themes of race, religion, youth, and sexual bravado. Based on a controversial novel purported to be a 19-year-old Arab's actual diary, this hormonally charged coming-of-age story is set in a dingy, ethnically mixed slum of post-9/11 Marseilles. When we meet Chimo (Mohammed Khouas), he is a self-described loser intent on hanging around with his slacker friends instead of pursuing his talent as a writer. But when Lila (Vahina Giocante)--a 16-year-old Catholic seductress--moves into the ghetto with her crazy, perverted aunt (Edmonde Franchi), she stirs something in Chimo and his depressing community with her angelic face, blonde hair, and impressively lewd language. While Lila will do no more than taunt the rest of the local men with her assets, she singles out Chimo and initiates him into a world filled with sexual desire. In fact, it is on their very first meeting that Lila offers Chimo a peak up her skirt, an invitation made even more appealing by her proclivity for not wearing underwear.By turning a thing as simple and seemingly innocent as a bike ride into a sexual escapade, Lila helps Chimo to see the world in a new way. As Chimo narrates his way through Lila's relentless advances and elaborate sexual fantasies, tension between him and his friends builds to a chilling, inevitable climax that reveals everyone's true colors. From one of its strangely breathtaking opening shots (the camera pans upward as the gloomy alley between two soiled apartment buildings is interrupted by a clothesline's bright hues) to its last, LILA SAYS draws the viewer in with camerawork as seductive and beautiful as its title character.

Lila Says
Flickfilosopher, "It's sort of Romeo & Juliet, but with the same kind of urgency the story of star-crossed lovers must have had for the Bard's first audience: Chimo (Mohammed Khouas) is a poor minority lad in Marseilles; Lila (Vahina Giocante) is an adolescent goddess, blonde and teasing; their teenage romance, alive with raw, unabashed lust, transforms both of them in ways neither expects. The fact that he is Muslim lends the film a new desperation in the wake of the horrendous rioting that has spread through France recently -- there's a surprising and unplanned soupcon of poignancy that makes the film feel almost impossibly modern, like we haven't yet caught up to its world yet.

Lila holds a secret that makes you realize the world is not as we always perceive it to be.

Clever story line
The movie is set in France. It is about a Polish teenage girl taking a liking to an Arab teenage boy. Initially, the girl's dialogue sounds rather sudden and risque but actually once the whole movie is understood, there is a good reason for why she carried on like she did towards the boy. She liked him and for one reason, she knew immediately that he was capable of handling her secrets. She knew she had found someone who accepted her and would give her love. The way the scriptwriter goes about to tell such a tale is interesting. The filming of the two main characters was very interesting as well.The movie is set in France.

Good but...
A decent film, but not nearly as good as the book it's based on ('Lila Says'/'Lila Dit Ca' by Chimo). The book, as is often the case, is infinitely deeper, stronger and more beautiful than the movie (far more disturbing and explicit as well).
