Peppermint Soda - 1977 - 7/10
AKA - Diabolo Menthe
Sisters Anne (13) and Frédérique (15) begin the fall semester at the all-girls school.
Teachers range from authoritarian to utterly mad.
Courses, how many ways can one be bored out of your mind?
At school, the pair socialize and gossip with peers. At home, they try to help each other.
This is not feel-good, as theirs is a broken home, and Mom lives within a budget.
Entertaining throughout, and a perceptive glimpse of Paris in 1963-64 leading up to the national strike.
