Natural habitat

Attenberg

(2010)

Opening: the least-erotic, funniest girl-kissing-girl sequence ever.

Sweet sixteenish and never been otherwise kissed, Marina (Ariane Labed) occupies a circumscribed world: the only other occupants who matter are her more experienced friend Bella (Evangelia Randou), with whom she likes to go on silly walks in dresses identical but for symbolic colors; her terminally ill father, an architect and genuine Greek philosopher, with whom she likes to watch the wildlife documentaries of Sir David Attenborough; and the unnamed fare (Giorgos Lanthimos) of the car service for which she works, with whom she likes to play foosball and then talk nonstop while shedding her virginity.

Quirky without being false or ostentatious, just an absolutely lovely character study--rather like those Attenborough films.
