Immorality (1978) ( L'Immoralita ) (Blu-Ray)

Product Information

Ionesco was 11 when she began filming "Maladolescenza" in 1976, but she had breasts that appeared to be enhanced. Her co-star, Lara Wendel, also had breasts that seemed too large for an 11-year-old. Both actresses were born in 1965. The coming-of-age genre is a cinema of first times; moments that, once experienced, can never be replicated with the same knotted sensation of yearning, timidity, and joy. These are films that fulfill our desire to reclaim experience from memory – to relive, in another body, those formative encounters which first ushered us into adulthood. We are in France in 1940, in the middle of the world war, on the eve of the invasion of the Germans. The charming pharmacist, Eliane and her husband Henri, a man who is a bit of a freak, passionate about poetry, are a conventional bourgeois couple who live their marital routine tediously. The director was interested in making a thriller - this aspect of the film is emphasized by the gangsters and the policeman who are out to get the child molester. But they came across as too cheesy. Their roles were ill conceived. The film works better as an intense drama with strong sexual elements. Morricone's idyllic sounding score is used in many scenes by the director. It is such a simple melody on a piano, succeeded and punctuated by the violins and Edda Dell Orso's singing.

Deniz Gamze Erguven’s Mustang is a startling drama about the conservative strictures of a small Turkish village, and how the lives of five orphaned girls – in various stages of adolescence and puberty – are forever changed under their enforcement. Recently nominated for the Best Foreign Language Film Oscar, the release of Mustang is a fitting time to reflect on the genre as a whole, and explore ten affecting examples deserving wider recognition. Ponette (1996) I wouldn't really recommend this film. Some people seem to be interested in it due to the graphic sex scenes. I did not find them to be titillating.L'Immoralita is a film that is difficult to pigeon hole into one 'type' of film, but suffice to say it's an entertaining and well worked thriller with enough substance to satisfy most viewers, providing they can stomach the sometimes uncomfortable tone of the movie. Almost everything about the film really is rather detestable and as such the characters are hard to care for; making watching the film akin to watching a car crash at times. The film begins with a scene that sees a man carrying the body of a dead girl before burying her, and then being pursued by a bunch of people with guns. This man turns out to be Federico; a murderer and paedophile, wanted for killing children. Wounded, he bumps into a young girl who he befriends after she offers him shelter. The girl lives with her parents; the mother, lauded as the town slut, and her dilapidated father who is rotting away in a wheelchair. The murderer and the child grow closer together despite the law being after him and the pair develops a friendship that is shattered when the mother discovers the sheltered criminal.

You won't find a specific date of birth for Karin Trentephol, or much of anything else about her. It's generally thought that this is not the girl's real name. With no further credits it's hard to be sure though. I decided to take 13 as the best figure for her age because of a quote from either director Massimo Pirri or Lisa Gastoni (who played the mother), don't remember which, that said she was 12 when she auditioned for the part and 13 during filming. I didn't save the article however and can't find it now. Unless you can figure out who she really is it's a guessing game. She was probably 13 but could've been as young as 10 or 11 for all we know.my question is: how did a film like this ever get made? who were the people who financed this film, and others like it? it seems that for a brief while (in that decade where anything went) if you could conceive a story so depraved, and so totally wrong, there was a good chance of getting it made. Unsurprisingly, the genre presents rich subject matter for first-time filmmakers, whose own coming-of-age is an unlimited inspiration. Their stories are inherently dramatic, but more than that, they’re inherently cinematic – exploring the subjective and sexual gaze, projection of imagination onto reality, and the newly discovered textures of lips and skin. Just because Eva Ionesco and Lara Wendel were physically mature for their age (which was documented in several court cases so the dates you see on IMDb are legit) that doesn't mean anything was done to them. It happens. Every school, everywhere, has a few girls like that, I certainly remember two or three from my own elementary school days. These two actresses were chosen because they were early bloomers. Otherwise two different girls would've gotten the roles instead. in brief, a escaped killer (supposedly child killer) befriends a young girl of roughly 12 years of age. she takes him to her house in a beautiful remote part of the countryside, and hides him in the basement. her mother (a widow, or divorced?) soon learns of his presence in the house, and they eventually become lovers. but it is only to be short lived as this killer will soon meet his fate.
