What Murmur of the Heart Is About
Growing up in Dijon in the nineteen fifties, fifteen year old Laurent works through the standard first experiences of adolescence, then catches scarlet fever and is left with a heart murmur. Sent to a sanatorium with his mother, the two of them cross a line. Louis Malle refuses to stage any of this as scandal and keeps the tone light, almost cheerful, which is precisely what makes it uncomfortable. Full of jazz, exact about its period, and unwilling to let the viewer settle anywhere. Lea Massari plays the mother.
