Synopsis

In this awe-inspiring journey, two lesbian lovers are united with burning passion and profound love, but not without the complications of idealistic principles in a modern society.

Review

In the thriving, intricate borders of Paris, two passionate girlfriends struggle to keep their fervent affair afloat while disrupted by idealistic nuances and moralistic values. Beautiful, blonde Sonia (Aurelia Petit) is a well-liked high school teacher who is successful in her career, unlike her free-spirited, exquisite brunette lover Cheyenne (Mila Dekker), who unfortunately has been laid off from her journalism job. Frustrated with society’s pressures, the unemployed idealist decides to buck the system and refuses welfare and modern day amenities like electricity or automobiles. Their torrid liaison crumbles after a heated night, and Cheyenne packs up her life, hops on her bicycle and rides away to simpler living in the French countryside. Sonia is left to pick up the pieces of her shattered heart and along the way she has one-night-stands first with a left-wing bloke and subsequently with an attentive, but haughty lesbian love interest. Will she find satisfaction in the arms of another lover? Has Cheyenne found the true meaning of her existence even though she left behind the one desire she cannot forget? First-time director Valerie Minetto stoically parallels this intense, rooted connection between two souls with how capitalist societies grind down the very ones that help it thrive. Intelligent, romantic and simplistic, Looking for Cheyenne is a classic lesbian romance of true love, regretful loss and finding it again. (French with English subtitles)

A Small Happy Film

Amos Lassen wrote on 03/31/2011:

Now being aired on Here TV! And available on DVD is “Looking for Cheyenne”, an intriguing, happy, little film. Cheyenne is a journalist who, after being laid off, decides to leave Paris, She is at a point in her life where she just wants to settle down. She is fed up with society so she decides to move away somewhere which is in the middle of nowhere. Her problem is that she leaves Sonia, the woman she loves, behind. Sonia is a teacher who loves her job and refuses to give it or anything else up for that matter. Sonia tries very hard to forger Cheyenne. She finds herself involved in an affair with a charming anarchist named Pierre and a perverse and dangerous woman, Beatrice. She realizes, however, that her heart belongs to Cheyenne and she begins to feel that if Cheyenne doesn’t come back then life is not worth living.
The film also deals with politics, sex, love and philosophy and it is the style of the movie that males it so interesting. With the kind of subject that it deals with, this could have become boring and moralizing as well as dry but the director Valerie Minetto does not allow that to happen. She creates a world of art and shows sensitivity and originality. It is beautifully acted and beautiful to watch.
