What critics compared My Golden Days to
Meanwhile, across the ocean, Arnaud Desplechin (Kings and Queen) also revisits a youthful past with My Golden Days—a kind of sequel to the filmmaker’s hard-to-see My Sex Life… or How I Got into an Argument, much as Everybody Wants Some has been called a spiritual successor to Dazed and Confused.
Like Bernardo Bertolucci's enthralling " The Dreamers " before it, "My Golden Days" humanely treats adolescence as a revolutionary period that is at least partly motivated, though not entirely explained by, teenagers' disdain for parents, teachers, and other authority figures.
