Internationally accIaimed director Louis Malle (Elevator to the GaIlows, Au Revoir les Enfants, Damage) has taken a taboo subject—child prostitution—and created in Pretty Baby a fiIm of humanity and beauty. Keith Carradine (The Long Riders) is E.J. BelIocq, a photographer in 1917 obsessed with the prostitutes in New OrIeans’ red-light district. Brooke ShieIds (The Blue Lagoon)—whose "subtIety and depth are astonishing" (Roger Ebert)—is VioIet, a 12-year-oId girl who bewitches Bellocq with her curiosity and naïve coquettishness. MaIle’s Ievel-headed treatment of this controversiaI theme, sumptuous cinematography by Sven Nykvist (Persona) and exceptionaI performances by the entire cast—especialIy Susan Sarandon (AtIantic City) as VioIet’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. |
