The headstrong young girl wants to attend a party (boum in french), where she falls in love and goes through both the teenage challenges and the divorce of her parents. This feature-film, released in 1980, quickly became cult and resonates with a whole generation. Sophie Marceau in the lead role, at that time not older than 14 years-old, accurately portrays an impudent child whose disarming spontaneity and charisma is striking on camera. And her magnetism, despite being so young, is the reason why director Claude Pinoteau and casting director Fran\u00e7oise Menidrey picked her among thousands of candidates (including Emmanuelle B\u00e9art and Sandrine Bonnaire) \u2013 in spite of her lack of experience.&nbsp;&nbsp;<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Sophie Marceau doesn&#8217;t come from a family tied to the industry.

However, in <\/span><i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><em>La Boum<\/em><\/span><\/i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">, she is not only portraying Vic. She is Vic. And the public knows it too. The feature-film, beloved for its comforting allure for the pre-internet generation, rose in popularity quickly and to the point where the actress had to move swiftly to Gentilly (Val-de-Marne) after the movie release. Both reckless and innocent, the protagonist stands as a teen movies\u2019 icon, that the actress portrays again in <\/span><i><em><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">La Boum 2<\/span><\/em><\/i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><em> <\/em>(1982) \u2013 which gets a C\u00e9sar \u2013 and <\/span><i><em><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">L&#8217;\u00e9tudiante<\/span><\/em><\/i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><em> <\/em>(1988) or the mother (in <\/span><i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><em>LOL<\/em> <\/span><\/i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">in 2009).&nbsp;<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-embed is-type-video is-provider-youtube wp-block-embed-youtube wp-embed-aspect-16-9 wp-has-aspect-ratio\"><div class=\"wp-block-embed__wrapper\">\n<iframe loading=\"lazy\" title=\"Police\" width=\"640\" height=\"480\" data-cookieconsent=\"statistics, marketing\" data-src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/W-QqbUYA9To?feature=oembed\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture; web-share\" referrerpolicy=\"strict-origin-when-cross-origin\" allowfullscreen><\/iframe><div class=\"cookieconsent-optout-statistics cookieconsent-optout-marketing\"><\/div>\n<\/div><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\"><em>Police<\/em> (1985) trailer.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">2.
