yes and i be aware of the fact the rather vulgar and tasteless subject line entirely misfits the overall tone of this film and but when else be i go to have the chance to use this clichéd say in a review . stepfather be a provocative and mildly controversial lolita theme drama and but with a healthy sense of humor and extremely likable character . britney spear provide the best one line plot description imaginable for this film represent not a girl and not yet a woman . after the sudden and accidental death of her mother and beautiful 14 year old marion insist on stay with her manic depress stepfather instead of return to her natural father . the girl soon openly confess rémi she have romantic feeling for him and doesn not really make it a secret that she want to sleep with him . rémi try very hard ( honestly and he do ) to resist the temptation and but what a lonely man to do when a scantily clad young gal keep throw herself at him and continue to sneak into his bed at night . most of the admittedly overlong film focus on rémi fighting and accepting and regret his own feeling towards marion and but still the film never really feels boring and there be plenty of neat detail to keep you pleased . the narrative and for example and be ingenious a several character ( include rémi ) explain the story whilst face the camera . he work as unsuccessful pianist in a restaurant and the camera often pan around him a he narrate his own life with people din in the background . it also quite remarkable how the script never revert to be gratuitous exploitation and even though all the theme hint towards that direction . a truly ravishing and often barely dress minor literally offer herself at this potent and thirty something guy and and yet there be no explicit sex sequence or gratuitous insinuation be make . ariel besse ( 16 at the time and a terrific actress ) strip fully naked a couple of time and but all the sex and nudity sequence be elegantly present and not the least bit offensive . patrick dewaere be great a well and it be quite a shock to discover he commit suicide shortly after the release of this film . accord to several source and include the imdb and the actor struggle with depression and mental torture for year and year . the only consolation he have be that his own mental condition give an even deep dimension to his character in stepfather . recommend .
