About A Real Young Girl
Reluctantly, a sulky adolescent returns to her parents' house for yet another boring summer vacation, dabbling in desire and the art of desirability, eventually mixing reality with vision, caged fantasies with the fierce female sexuality.
Directed by Catherine Breillat, A Real Young Girl leans on a strong ensemble — Charlotte Alexandra, Hiram Keller, Rita Maiden — to carry a story that balances spectacle with character.
The film landed with audiences for its craft and performances, and remains one of the most talked-about romance titles of 1976.
