INNOCENCE shows a year in the life of a boarding school. The mix of slice-of-life structure and surreal atmosphere is fascinating. The directing of the child actresses isn't very good (there are moments where the extras are looking where they obviously mustn't) but, even with that in mind, Alisson Lalieux's performance is very bad. It's OK to make a movie where 2 or more characters share protagonism; it's not OK to make a movie that focuses completely on one character at a time during long periods of time (unless it's an anthology). One of those characters is a girl named Iris. Since she misses her family, it's natural for her to form a strong bond with Bianca, the oldest student. However, the way the bond is formed feels forced and rushed. 6/10 THE FINE ART OF LOVE 1/10 ------------------------------------- You can read comments of other movies in my blog.

I liked the strange vibe and mysterious ambiguity of Innocence, but it's been a while since I've seen it and is probably due a re-watch. I also enjoyed Hadžihalilović's next film Evolution, which was similarly abstract and stylish.
I've not seen The Fine Art of Love.

I've not seen The Fine Art of Love. I have spent many years trying to master it, but alas, I have failed dismally in my efforts.

I quite liked Innocence. This reminds me that I should add it to my wish list.
