Charlotte Le Bon\u2018s beguiling, mischievous feature directorial debut begins with the creepy image of a young woman\u2019s lifeless body floating face-down in the middle of a glimmering lake at dawn. But Falcon Lake is more sweet coming-of-age story than horror film\u2026 albeit one with a decidedly ghoulish streak. Adapted from Bastien Viv\u00e8s\u2019s graphic novel, A Sister, the story follows two families sharing a summer cottage on a lake in Quebec. Thirteen-year-old Bastien\u2019s family has come from Paris. Sixteen-year-old Chlo\u00e9 and her mother are Canadian. And the lake in question is purportedly haunted by a ghost. A story of intense puppy love, filled with the requisite awkward teenage insecurities and stumbling awakenings of desire, as well as razor-sharp observations and some unexpectedly chilling surprises, Falcon Lake is a poignant, astonishingly assured first feature.<\/em><\/span><\/p>\n
