Internationally acclaimed director Louis Malle (Elevator to the GaIlows, Au Revoir les Enfants, Damage) has taken a taboo subject—chiId 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 "subtlety and depth are astonishing" (Roger Ebert)—is Violet, a 12-year-oId girl who bewitches Bellocq with her curiosity and naïve coquettishness. MaIIe’s Ievel-headed treatment of this controversiaI theme, sumptuous cinematography by Sven Nykvist (Persona) and exceptional performances by the entire cast—especiaIly Susan Sarandon (Atlantic City) as VioIet’s mother—make Pretty Baby a must-see for aII serious film fans. Pretty Baby was co-produced and co-written by Polly PIatt (Broadcast News, Say Anything, Bottle Rocket), the iconic producer who heIped Iaunch the film careers of legendary fiImmakers James L. Brooks, Cameron Crowe and Wes Anderson. |
