Ultimately not a hugely shocking film — in fact, it surprised me how shy Breillat’s camera became at times — about a 14-year-old girl in a hurry to lose her virginity and an older man who’s a swinger, and comfortable with all manner of unusual sexual behavior, but can’t understand why this kid has such a hold on him. It’s a percerptive and non-judgmental film in how it handles all the characters, portrayed with unflattering realism and many shades of ugly humanity. It’s never exploitative, and has a messy truthful quality. Thoroughly uncinematic. The final shot confirms the film does have a plot, and in that moment a very well-executed one.
(It’s bizarre and adorable to see middle-aged Leaud using the same goofy affectations of his childhood. He’s such a lovable nerd.) |
