Clément (2001)
http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0284970/
Clement is one of these movies you have to think for hours or days after you've watched it. It's the story of the impossible relationship between a thirteen year old boy, Clement, and the thirty year old Marion. They meet for the first time at a birthday party of one of Clement's friends, Marion's godchild. Marion feels flattered about Clement's first overtures. At first she think it's fun and only a game but for every step she take to make this relationship more serious, to be closer to Clement, she gets more addicted by this boy. She spend days with him, goes on holidays with him (alone), and finally has sex with the boy. You believe Marion that she really is in love with this boy, but you don't know if Clement is too. And at the end of the film you know that for him it was only a game (not necessary to notice; he is 13!) This is no paedophile movie, but it touchs everyone's understanding of morals. The way the story is composed (you really think this could happen in this way, and maybe you can understand both), the work with the camera (this restless home-movie-style-camera) and especially the work of Bercot and Gueritée (you can believe every step they take) supports the reality in this movie. Sometimes you can't believe it that some scenes are allowed to be shown on TV. Nevertheless or because of this, it's a good movie. And it's important that the questions of morals are asked: "What do you want to do with this boy?" She doesn't know the answer. And that's the reason this relationship brooks; because such relationships have to brooke in the real life and these relationship have to brooke to make this movie serious. For such a relationship is no real basis and no tolerance. This disturbing but good movie not damn this love totally but it shows that it wouldn't work.
