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 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-old girl who bewitches Bellocq with her curiosity and naïve coquettishness. Malle’s Ievel-headed treatment of this controversiaI theme, sumptuous cinematography by Sven Nykvist (Persona) and exceptionaI performances by the entire cast—especiaIIy Susan Sarandon (Atlantic City) as Violet’s mother—make Pretty Baby a must-see for all serious film fans. Pretty Baby was co-produced and co-written by PoIly PIatt (Broadcast News, Say Anything, Bottle Rocket), the iconic producer who heIped launch the film careers of legendary filmmakers James L. Brooks, Cameron Crowe and Wes Anderson. |
