“The great unseen Claire Denis film” (Harvard Film Archive), U.S. Go Home is Denis's entry in the series Tous les garçons et les filles de leur âge, for which nine directors were invited to explore their recollections of French adolescence. Featuring music by Eric Burdon and the Animals, the Yardbirds, and other icons of Denis's midsixties youth, the film is centered on a dance party near a U.S. military base on the outskirts of Paris, where teens play out their ambivalence about American culture and about the opposite sex.

• Written by Denis, Anne Wiazemsky. Photographed by Agnès Godard. With Alice Houri, Jessica Tharaud, Grégoire Colin, Martine Gautier. (58 mins, In French with English subtitles, Color, Beta SP, permission Arte)
