17 filles is directed by the French sisters Coulin. With this film them after some short films their feature film debut. The story itself is based on a true story of a group of students in the AMERICAN Massachusetts. There were in 2008 17 girls pregnant at the same time and thus formed the basis for this film.

Hitchcock
In the film are occasionally influences from expressionism to observe. In this early film movement in 1920 were seen emotions or thoughts of characters back into the decor, make-up, use of lighting and camera work. Alfred Hitchcock (The Birds, Rear Window) later took it effectively in his films. Now the French sisters here seem to comply. The use of light and playing with sharpness does in 17 Filles sometimes at very expressionistic. As Camille is a time scammed by moving red lights, when a girlfriend some courage in talking before she commits the act at the school party. Camille is displayed as "devils," she is the one who encourages everyone to do it. Camille talks addition to the prom with the biological father of her child. He says nothing to do with the child to have and walks away. Camille is intensely sad and left alone for a wall with dozens of visible cracks. The moment when the girls decide to get pregnant all together, is also a special moment in the film. The girls decide namely in McDonald's, which is seen as a company that makes people fat. A clear reference to the girls.

Balance Loos
The film is about 17 girls, just not all the characters worked out thoroughly. Camille, who very strong acting like the rest of the young cast, is the main character. Her you come along with her best friends to know the most, albeit not very extensive. Occasionally the girls make choices that you feel as a viewer: why? Therefore, some storylines are not easy to follow. The film itself consists mainly of very short lines and seems partly due to the use of light more a documentary than a feature film. As a whole take quite strange. The question here is whether this also you can not clearly had in a short film of 30 minutes to make. The mise-en-scene is also very moderate. Is it - ineffective - using the various short storylines still very risky, as the shot choices are very simple chosen. The makers choose to hold on to certain basic principles movie: close filming using a lot of emotion and longshots less intimate moments. This little original approach the film reinforced.

Conclusion
17 filles is a film full of talented actresses who together a fascinating and amusing story managed to put down. The film contains only too short storylines, which lacks a clear structure. A small revival of Hitchcock makes this a little good, but can not prevent the content is very simple and fragmented.
