Set in the projects of Paris, L’esquive (AKA Games of Love and Chance) is a study of a group of teenagers in social housing, a world of broken homes and poverty. Without a means to truly express themselves, the teenagers begin to adopt the posturing of the damaged, jaded, and virtually non-existent adults raising them, and attack each in constant outbursts of verbal aggression. In spite of this, however, Kechiche’s film has a kind heart, and is played with a tremendous sense of humor, honesty, and frankness.
