[REL] La Traversée du phare (1999), Les inséparables (2001)

[deadman]

Katty Loisel was 11 in the first film and 13 in the second. She did indeed develop nicely in that time, as often happens.

I've actually discovered she was born in 1986 so it must have been a while between filming and it being released.

About four months passed between Katty's 12th birthday and the air date of La traversée du phare. To have filmed after October 1st and done post production for a January 27th premiere would be massively rushed. Also, if you look at what people are wearing, and the background (trees in particular) it's clear filming occurred in the spring - the period in fall when people would be dressed the same way you'd have foliage turning instead of lush green leaves. So they probably had 8-9 months to turn the completed footage into a movie ready for broadcast. Makes sense.

Same deal with Les inséparables. It also looks to have been filmed in spring, for a Valentine's Day debut the following winter. TV projects tend to operate on shorter deadlines than a theatrical production. It's unlikely more than a year would've gone by between shooting and airtime.

She also sports a more feminine style, with her clothes and her hair. As for the glow ... in my opinion young Eric should've taken full advantage of his new adoptive parents letting him and Marie share a bed. But that might've been a little too much for family friendly television - even in France.

Eric really has a talent for "accidently" uncovering Marie's boobs

Only once, while pulling her out of the water. When they were horsing around in bed it was no accident.

In real life you know Eric and Marie would have done a lot more when they were allowed to sleep together in the same bed. Personally I think the producers should've at least shown the beginning of it, even if they had to cut away before it got too intense, but maybe that wouldn't have been good enough for the censors. Same reason they put that convenient telephone call interruption in Le surdoué, just as Vincent and Judith were about to go there. We were never going to see that play out.

Oh, they definitely both wanted more... Just look at how flushed both of their cheeks are!

At least we got to see her buds turn into boobs.

Don't forget that the director (Thierry Redler) was the boy's (Jim Redler) father. I don't think he wanted to show anything more explicit.

In the other movie there was the lighthouse scene, something similar happens when it is interrupted; they are also seen covered with blankets. Few would think that there was something more off-screen, but they were children and did not yet feel that attraction except when they kissed.

Hard to tell which one is the boy and which one is the girl

There's a few rough hints I can go off though

The person in the stripey shirt might be a girl.. 2nd image of the 2nd row looks like she's kinda going through puberty

The very top left image.. The guy on the right 100% looks like a guy so I'm saying the left person is a girl

It was strange to me that Marie no longer presents as Yann in the second movie as if it never happened or was "just a phase".

By Yann I assume you mean a tomboy - not familiar with that term myself. Teenagers often do change their hairstyle and dress though. Some multiple times.

You can tell Katty is a girl in the first film. It's not like the movie Tomboy (2011), where if it wasn't for the title giving you a big hint you might not realize the lead character wasn't actually a boy (until the bath scene).

Don't forget that the director (Thierry Redler) was the boy's (Jim Redler) father. I don't think he wanted to show anything more explicit.

I was thinking along the lines of kissing that turned passionate, then you cut away to morning with the two kids clearly naked but under the blankets - in reality of course, they could be mostly clothed, only the parts you can see matter. In the US even the casual implication that a couple of 13 year olds made love and fell asleep together would never make it past the censors. I'd think it would be okay in France though. Or at least, it would've been in the fairly recent past.
