In the well-to-do suburbs of a small town, a group of pretty average, well-adjusted sixteen and seventeen year olds are ordinary adolescents who take a singular path.
'Bang Gang (A Modern Love Story)' is based on true events, but it's hard to imagine even a French father, upon discovering his sixteen year-old son has been attending orgies, being laid-back enough to describe it as "profoundly mediocre", as happens here! When a game of Spin the Bottle gets a more adult twist, a group of teenagers from a nice middle-class area of town fall into having impromptu orgies. Against this background various other stories play out: the Lothario (Finnegan Oldfield - if he's as Irish as his name suggests he's got a superb French accent - to my English ears, anyway!) who uses the opportunity to toy with the affections of two girls; and the musician, carer for his disabled father, who stands apart from the crowd while lusting after one of the girls. But the film seems to have no focus until near its end when, faced with the consequences of their actions, the teenagers are revealed as just that - irresponsible teenagers, and not as sophisticated as they'd imagined themselves to be.
Even though there is a deal of nudity in the film, there's little eroticism: the rock-video editing means the viewer is rarely sure exactly who's bits he's looking at! The film made little impression on me; in fact, I spent most of it thinking what horrendous underwear everyone was wearing, and worrying about the fate of the hamster.
