Summary
Jane Birkin delivers one of her finest performances as a lonely 40-year old woman who finds herself shattering taboos by falling in love with a 14-year old boy. Directed by Oscar-nominated filmmaker, Agn©·s Varda.. Nominated for the Golden Berlin Bear at the Berlin International Film Festival.. "Everything depends on the look in an eye, the tone of a voice. Vardáђةs true subject seems to be the way in which 'pure' love, classical romanticism, can exist as an idea in a vacuum, but can survive in the real world only for a moment before practical considerations mercilessly wipe it out...[KUNG-FU MASTER!] suggests we may all be closer to our ideal but impossible love [than we think], if we lose our fears." - Roger Ebert, Chicago Sun-Times
