80The theories about sexuality and trauma artfully advanced in this previously unreleased 1975 debut of director Catherine Breillat (Romance, Fat Girl) are more nuanced and intuitive than those of most schools of psychology.
-
75Breillat has long been fascinated with the idea that women are not allowed to go through puberty in private but instead seem to be on display for all to watch, a situation that has no parallel with boys. A Real Young Girl seems acutely aware of this paradox.
-
70Crude, unpolished, yet curiously dreamy.
-
60Neither cheerfully naughty nor suffused with gauzy prurience, it evokes a time of turbulent (and often ugly) emotions with disquieting intensity.
-
50The delayed release of this 1975 drama provides an interesting view of her (Breillat) early development as a world-class filmmaker.
-
40A philosophical gross-out comedy rudely presented from the perspective of a sullen, sexually curious 14-year-old.
-
38A test of endurance, and not just because you need a rather stronger word than "explicit" to describe this long-unreleased, self-consciously provocative film.
