She was nominated    for a Cesar Award for her role as a nurse who enters into a thorny romance     with Patrick Dewaere. I Don't Kiss (J'embrasse Pas, 1991, 115      mins.) stars Manuel Blanc in the tale of a naive aspiring actor who is redu  ced to selling his body on the streets of Paris, where he fruitlessly falls for a  high-end call girl (Emmanuelle Beart). Reuniting with Deneuve, My Favorite  Season (Ma Saison Preferee, 1993, 124 mins.) is Techine's             fascinating, dark, and somber story of an estranged brother and sister           (Deneuve and Daniel Auteuil) who must come to terms with what they've become   professionally and personally when their aging mother falls ill. Lastly, in    the 1962-set Wild Reeds (1995, 110 mins.), a group of teenagers          confronts emotional, sexual, and political turmoil provoked by their own         personal lives and the larger social framework of a provincial town affected   Andre Techine---France---1981-1995---454 mins.
