3.0 out of 5 stars A look inside the Red Light District, 5 Oct 2007
By M. A. Ramos (Florida USA) - See all my reviews
(TOP 1000 REVIEWER)    (REAL NAME)   
This story takes place at the turn of the century in New Orleans'. A prostitute becomes pregnant decides to keep her baby and gives birth to a daughter named Violet. They live in the brothel where she continues to work. Twelve years later, Violet is old enough to attract the attentions of the brothel's customers. Her mother agrees to have her virginity auctioned off to the customers of the house. The story really starts when Violet draws the affections of Bellocq, a photographer who has been working on a photo series about prostitutes. Violet's blend of childlike innocence and adult sensuality is profoundly attractive to him, but their relationship quickly becomes a problem. Which is enhanced when her mother leaves Violet behind to get married. The film's sexual content is sensual without being especially graphic. This is really a film about desire and attraction.

3.0 out of 5 stars A Whore with Heart?, 9 Oct 2007
By nmollo (London) - See all my reviews
(TOP 1000 REVIEWER)      
Pretty Baby is certainly not a boring movie but it is not a great one either. My first jolt out of the world it wanted to convey was the appalling miming at the piano by Antonio Fargas. This really is the Directors fault as the camera angel chosen showed too much of his aimless finger work. That aside the atmosphere of the Whore House was convincingly portrayed.

The main problem with the film has to be the performance of Keith Carradine. In both film versions of "Lolita" the Humberts played respectively by James Mason and Jeremy Irons convincingly portray their desperate love for their nymphet. Keith Carradine does not.

Brook Shields and Susan Sarandon are excellent but the material they are asked to work with never rises above simple observation. No ones heart is ever truly exposed and so a coldness pervades the picture.

The DVD transfer is good. The Sound could be better. There are no Extras.
