Little Trouble Girls
Directed by Urška Djukić
At her mother’s urging, introverted 16-year-old Lucia joins her Catholic school’s all-girls choir, where she befriends Ana-Maria, a popular older student. When the choir travels to a countryside convent for a weekend retreat of intensive rehearsals, Lucia navigates the unfamiliar surroundings, complex teenage social structures, and her own awakening sexuality. A series of initiations, including an eye-opening experience with a handsome construction worker, test Lucia’s friendship with Ana-Maria and the other girls, as she begins to question her beliefs and disrupt the harmony within the choir. This stunning feature debut by award-winning Slovenian filmmaker Urška Djukić had its world premiere at the Berlin Film Festival and won the Best Cinematography prize at Tribeca.
Reviews More Reviews
“Insistently mysterious, even borderline mystical... Djukic is interested in the space, the gap if you will, between the past and the present, the orthodox and the heretical.”
“Critic’s Pick! Few films in recent memory have so perfectly captured a queer sexual awakening on the precipice of possibility…Slovenian cinema has found a promising new voice in Djuki?.”
“Tantalizingly allusive… A quiet hothouse of youthful desires, mean-girl tensions, and hovering Catholic guilt.”
“Mesmerizing…Urška Djuki? makes a girl choir’s weekend retreat into a sweltering crucible.”
“An intoxicating communion of the earthly and the angelic… every moment is loaded with elemental power and possibility."
“Terrific… heady with intertwined sensual and religious symbolism.”
“Beguiling… captivating. A rich and textured mosaic of desire and shame.”
"One of the best and most promising directorial debuts of the 21st century."
