The early life of a girl in multiracial poor suburbs of Marseilles. An original vision of the tough life of a girl between 12 and 25, facing a harsh initiation to adulthood.
What’s real in Un, deux, trois, soleil is the teeming multiracial housing project in the slums of Marseilles where Victorine (Anouk Grinberg) struggles through her childhood and early adulthood. What’s not real in this feverish dreamscape of a film is just about everything else. The story seems to unwind — and then tangle — inside Victorine’s troubled mind as she seeks the affection her parents can’t provide in the back seats of the cars of teenage Moroccan gangs and in the arms of a petty thief.
And mon dieu, what parents she has! Victorine’s mother is quite insane, and her father is a raging alcoholic who spends most of the movie hunched over a bar drinking pastis. They torment Victorine at every stage of her young life, and we see every stage, with Grinberg acting 12, 16, 20, or 25 as the scene demands. With just the change of an outfit and some altered body language, we get Victorine as a middle schooler in love with her daddy, as a married woman with several children (it’s hard to tell how many), as a tough teenager looking for trouble, and as a preteen willing to give up her virginity to anyone who’ll be nice to her. Linear chronology flies out the window, and you’re never quite sure what you’re seeing, especially when dead characters reappear to chat with Victorine or address the audience.
