'Genese' DVD Review

Our story deals with the coming of age sexuality of three teenagers. Guillaume (Theodore Pellerin) is away at boarding school. He has a charismatic personality and is a hit in the classroom. He also has feelings for a fellow student by the name of Nicolas (Jules Roy Sicotte). Guillaume and Nicolas are best friends but the feelings of Guillaume go beyond friendship. One scene has the boys at a party. Guillaume is walking across the dance floor through a sea of heterosexuality. He sees Nicolas but is very awkward when he finally reaches the other teen. Guillaume even considers going out for the hockey team that Nicolas plays for. In other words Guillaume has problems with his sexuality and doesn’t know what to do, but then again what 16 does.

Now Charlotte (Noee Abita) Guillaume’s older half sister doesn’t have a problem with her sexuality. What her problem is that the young men she meets doesn’t want a true relationship. They simply want the sex which makes Charlotte uncomfortable with people. Charlotte does have a geeky boyfriend by the name of Maxime (Pier-Luc Funk). The problem is that one day Maxime comes to Charlotte and expresses his feelings about having an open relationship. In other words he can do what he wants when he wants with whoever he wants to and then come back to Charlotte for sex. Charlotte does drop him for an older guy by the name of Theo (Maxime Dumontier). Unfortunately, after a brief fling Charlotte has no more interest in Theo.Felix (Edouard Tremblay-Grenier) meets his young Beatrice (Emilie Bierre) at summer camp. The two teens have mutual love for each other and you could call them the Adam and Eve of our story.

Film Movement brings this coming of age love story to DVD on November 19th, 2019. The quality of the DVD is excellent and the sights and sounds are superb. Our Director Philippe Lesage also directed a movie called 'The Demons' and the characters can be found in both films. The story is right on with today’s youth and is a good film to watch. It will make a wonderful addition to your personal library and would make a great gift for that special person this holiday season.
