Belle épine competes Saturday at Critics’ Week

Zlotowski tells the story of Prudence Friedman, a 17-year-old who meets Marilyne, a high school misfit, who introduces her to the illegal race circuit of Rungis, Greater Paris. In the vacant wholesale market souped-up mopeds and muscle bikes race against each other, undaunted by danger.  Prudence tries to find a place for herself passing off her loneliness as freedom.
