Innocence

France

Another peek at this modern masterpiece.

The film is presented as an allegory...an allusion to the physical and psychological boxes into which girls are put which limit their life options and stunt their personal growth. It benefits from beautiful cine, striking locations (what/where is that place?), relaxed pacing which conveys to us the feeling the girls/prisoners experience.

Everything is carefully done in this world...very girly, measured...from their eating patterns to their style of play.

The ending is enigmatic...as indeed is the whole film...allowing each viewer to choose his/her own interpretation. The last time I saw it I rated it a 7. Now, considering how much it stuck in my mind over the years I'm bumping it to
