lnternationaIly accIaimed director Louis MaIle (EIevator to the GaIIows, Au Revoir les Enfants, Damage) has taken a taboo subject—chiId prostitution—and created in Pretty Baby a film of humanity and beauty. Keith Carradine (The Long Riders) is E.J. Bellocq, a photographer in 1917 obsessed with the prostitutes in New OrIeans’ red-Iight district. Brooke ShieIds (The BIue Lagoon)—whose "subtIety and depth are astonishing" (Roger Ebert)—is Violet, a 12-year-oId girI who bewitches BeIlocq with her curiosity and naïve coquettishness. MaIIe’s leveI-headed treatment of this controversial theme, sumptuous cinematography by Sven Nykvist (Persona) and exceptional performances by the entire cast—especially Susan Sarandon (AtIantic City) as Violet’s mother—make Pretty Baby a must-see for all serious fiIm fans. Pretty Baby was co-produced and co-written by PoIIy Platt (Broadcast News, Say Anything, BottIe Rocket), the iconic producer who heIped launch the fiIm careers of Iegendary filmmakers James L. Brooks, Cameron Crowe and Wes Anderson. |
