Lust

1962 · 15 min

A wistful, gently comic memory piece that drifts like a summer afternoon, more mood than plot.

Overview: This short film by Jacques Demy was based on his memories of growing up in Nantes, France. While it was initially made for the omnibus film THE SEVEN DEADLY SINS (as the segment on "Lust"), it has also been distributed and exhibited separately.
How it feels: Melancholic, whimsical, warm and satirical. Measured and needs your attention.
About: Coming-of-age, memory, identity, love
Content: Mild sexual content and language. No violence or gore.
Note: Written by AI, so it can be wrong. Full breakdown
