Aric and Marisa put the spotlight on the Coming-of-Age genre with six films that bring us back to our golden days. They discuss the memorable conventions of the genre and dive into what makes this genre so special to all of us.
The list includes the beloved Studio Ghibli film KIKI'S DELIVERY SERVICE (1989), a whimsically mature film about a young witch trying to find herself in a new town, Ronald F. Maxwell's LITTLE DARLINGS (1980), the sincere teen-comedy starring memorable child actresses Kristy McNichol and Tatum O'Neal, Francis Ford Coppola's THE OUTSIDERS (1983), the dreamy adaptation of the S.E. Hinton novel with an unforgettable cast, Arthur Barron's JEREMY (1973), a bashfully sweet love story between two teenage outcasts, Larry Clark's KIDS (1995), the punishing indie film about the underworld of teens in New York, and Roy Andersson's A SWEDISH LOVE STORY (1970), a film about young romance and the realities of growing old.
