L’ ENNUI (1998) (English trnsln – Boredom) by director Cedric Kahn, a Lolita Obsession Erotic Drama about Martin, a middle-aged philosophy teacher in the midst of a mid-life crisis. Lacking direction or purpose in his life, he initiates an affair with the 17 years old Cécilia, a young artist’s model who might have killed her former lover with the intensity of her sexual charm & appetite. They share a purely erotic relationship as an intellectual abyss separates them, as if they’re almost from different worlds.

In the beginning he hates her but predictably, as in ALL Lolita obsessions we have seen and read, before long, he gets Obsessed with her (and its Very Easy to see WHY when you look at her) and he needs to possess her and cannot resist a sharp descent into violent jealousy & neurotic behaviour.

Quote: « Sophie: Abstinence is turning you sour; give it up. » « Martin: I have. » « Sophie: Really? Do I know her? » « Martin: No, I met her in odd circumstances a few weeks ago. » « Sophie: Really? You must be pleased. » « Martin: You're quite wrong, I don't like her at all. She's totally uninteresting. I'm trying to get rid of her. » « Sophie: Why? Is she ugly? » « Martin: Not particularly. » « Sophie: Is she stupid then? » « Martin: No. Not at all. She never says anything stupid. It's complicated. She bores me. I have no contact with her. Or rather only physical contact. » « Sophie: Why complain? That's not so bad. » « Martin: You can't imagine how basic she is, she has no conversation. When she speaks, she sounds silent. Her only means of expression is sexual. »
