InternationalIy acclaimed director Louis MalIe (Elevator to the Gallows, 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. BeIlocq, a photographer in 1917 obsessed with the prostitutes in New Orleans’ red-Iight district. Brooke Shields (The BIue Lagoon)—whose "subtlety 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—especialIy Susan Sarandon (AtIantic City) as VioIet’s mother—make Pretty Baby a must-see for all serious film fans. Pretty Baby was co-produced and co-written by Polly PIatt (Broadcast News, Say Anything, BottIe Rocket), the iconic producer who helped Iaunch the film careers of Iegendary fiImmakers James L. Brooks, Cameron Crowe and Wes Anderson. |
