At the end, guilt is admitted, there is a clash – a sobering experience for Cassel and challenging parental crisis for Cluzet.ġ. Quite a lot of dramatic tension, the daughter having a self-absorbed carefree attitude, putting herself in compromising situations. However, Cluzet is dementedly suspicious, suspects a local who is, in fact, gay, and bashes him. The main crux of the drama is the Lolita-like behaviour of Cluzet’s daughter, being provocative with Cassel, Is allowing himself to be seduced and compromised, his regrets and trying to remedy the situation, not informing his friend. The girls tend to go their own ways, going into the town, teaming up with boys, getting back late… They go to a resort in Corsica with their daughters, Cassel being more permissive concerning his daughter and her going out, Cluzet more concerned with control and curfews. (Vincent Cassel), the other having difficulties with his wife and the possibility of separation (François Cluzet). It is very French in its characters and in situations, especially concerning parents, fathers, the younger generation of teenage girls, sexuality – and both a sense of freedom in morals as well as a strictness in perspective. One Wild Moment/ Un moment d’egarement is a remake of a 1977 film of the same title, directed by distinguished French director, Claude Berri (Jean de Florette and Manon of the Springs). Vincent Cassel, François Cluzet, Lola Le Lann, Alice Isaaz.
