Mini Review 4
Confessions of a Child of the Century
Painful and boring to watch, Confessions of a Child of the Century consists of Octave (Pete Doherty), aimlessly wandering around drunk and stumbling into orgies. Throughout the film he has what hardly seem like philosophical discussions with his pal Desgenais (August Diehl.) Feeling sorry for himself after losing his first “love” Octave befriends Brigitte (Charlotte Gainsbourg), whose name you do not learn of until the middle of the film. Brigitte is a widow and ten years older than Octave. Unable to resist each other they become lovers. Brigitte is not able to hold his attention for long. Lets just say Doherty should stick to being a musician.
