I rented "36 Fillette" on DVD. There was little in the way of explanation or translation. The opening screen and title were not even translated, and the picture was fuzzy like a home movie or something, perhaps purposefully since this was a small family on vacation at the beach.
The mother father, and their 14 year old daughter, and 16 year old son rent a trailer at the beach for the summer.
The son and daughter are cooped up like chickens and squabbling constantly, so immediately both get on your nerves, but mostly the daughter ... something is just bothering her.
Well, I guess it turns out to be raging hormones. The title someone said in the American version was "Virgin" and the main goal of this movie seems to be to get this awful girl laid.
"Lily" does not read, and makes fun of those who do, though she professed to want to be a writer when she grows up. She disobeys her parents and bothers her brother constantly, the reason is that she has raging hormones I suppose.
The movie seems to cover a day or two, and involves Lily going to a disco with her brother and then dumping him there alone while she goes off with an "aging playboy" as someone referred to him.
She seems to tease and play games with everyone until they are tired of it, and at the end she does succeed at fooling a young man into deflowering her, and then curses at him and goes off on her own ... a theme in the movie, I walk alone being a song that is played several times.
What this movie is about or is trying to say I have really no idea. Perhaps how hard women have it in life, or how hard men have it in life ... could be either. It was hard to watch all of this girls squirming and tantrums.
One thing is that she was well cast as physically she was a beautiful Venus type of girl, full-figured and completely un-self-conscious and a force of nature which nothing can control. But she does not seem to be any better at the end of the movie or have undergone anything but a small tear of the hymen in this movie, hardly a dramatic transformation.
I gave the movie a 4 for its attempt at real life and the guts to show what it did in the way it did, but I could not recommend it, nor would I want to see it again, or would I see it if I knew it was going to be so blah.
