9/10
A French Gothic, dated 1970...
30 April 2015
Warning: Spoilers
Two young girls become heavily inspired by the death & doom rhetorics of their local priest (and some private lecture) as they witness the false values at their Catholic girl school. They decide they belong to Satan and they will do his bidding in the upcoming summer vacation... Things get way out of hand, but it takes a while before they are actually in such big trouble that they themselves actually see no other way out than a theatrical suicide.

'Mais ne nous...' is a bold and naughty film, though Jeanne Goupil and Catherine Wagener were respectively 21 and 19 years old at the time. Their acting may not always be flawless, but it comes across as spontaneous and sincere. Following these two teenage girls liberating themselves from social and religious chains, one will more than once feel uneasy at their unflinching manners, but still this a unique and creative little tale that ought to be seen by every emo, goth or other alternative human spirit out there today.

9 out of 10.
