Sexual tension and the conflict between desire and reason drive a wedge between a young woman, her family and community in this Austrian drama.
"In this unconventional coming of age story, a young woman, her family and community deal with sexual tension and a conflict between desire and reason. Bike-rider Mati and her gang of male friends race around their neighbourhood and drunkenly harass the girls of the village. Mati enjoys her status as one of the boys, but things change when her best friend Sebastian falls for her. At the same time, Mati is drawn to Carla, an independent girl who offers Mati a different path." (Sydney Film Festival)

"Despite strong performances that go a long way to embedding the film in real, idiosyncratic life - and the warm-toned, polished photography of Michael Schindegger - too much of "L'Animale" feels too familiar."
