In 2009, comic book artist Riad Sattouf successfully moved behind the camera.

Cstar will rebroadcast the comedy this evening Riad Sattouf, The Beautiful Kids. This film, released in 2009 at the cinema, deals with teenage love. Its subject is Hervé (Vincent Lacoste), a 14-year-old teenager with an unattractive appearance, the only son of a depressed mother. If he doesn't experience incredible success in college, it's because his thoughts are focused on girls. Unfortunately for him, he accumulates rake after rake. Until the day Aurore (Alice Trémolières), one of the prettiest girls in her class, seems to fall under his spell.

With a hint of SuperSevere, The Beautiful Kids paints a funny and uncompromising portrait of adolescence. A constantly changing world where we learn to control our emotions. When it was released in theaters, the film attracted more than 900,000 people, before being nominated three times for the 2010 César in the categories of Best First Film (which it won), Best Promising Actor (for Vincent Lacoste) and best supporting actress (for Noémie Lvovsky).

Here is the review of First : “If The Beautiful Kids looks a lot likeAmerican Pie made in France, it is above all a very personal film which combines various influences: Larry Clark (Kids) for the naturalist and raw side, Patrick Schulmann (PROFES) for the assumed French heritage, the comics Icy Fluid for the punk and regressive spirit. All the more twisting as it is hardly a caricature, The Beautiful Kids implicitly paints a terrible portrait of adolescence, this age where hormonal impulses collide with the limits of an often unrewarding physique and a crumbly mind. Behind his apparent nonchalance, the weak Hervé endures both his first name and an intrusive mother (Noémie Lvovsky, definitely cut out for comedy) who asks him every day if he has had a good jerk off! Already cult.”
