Declaration
film director
“The contradictory characters of Bitten, sometimes voluble, sometimes indolent, carry with clairvoyance their complicated adolescence, whether it be endless or, on the contrary, too evanescent, but always with a need to escape from it. Françoise, Delphine, Christophe and the others construct a secluded world, inhabited by livid girls and boys at odds with the world of adults. A world of symbols to decipher, where the troubles that impede them can no longer be, where they often whisper because it is forbidden to speak, but also because they have secrets to confide.”
