MOVIE REVIEW
Wild Grass (2009)
Christophe Jeauffroy/Sony Pictures Classics
The English title is a direct translation of the French word for those little weeds which sprout up in the cracks in sidewalks; in French the phrase is a metaphor for people who are a little bit unconventional. This movie certainly is different, but it works neither as a straight story nor as a genre exercise; and it seems the director wanted it that way.
