VIRGIN/JUNIOR SIZE 36
dir. Catherine Breillat
FR, 88′
Lili (14) is camping with her family in a French coastal town. She persuades her brother to take her to a disco, where she begins a series of flirtations with older men. Self-confident but confused about her lack of experience, Lili tests the limits of power, emotion, and control. After a relationship with a middle-aged Lothario fails, she embarks on her first relationship with a boy her age. Semi-autobiographical, Virgin / Junior Size 36 is a layered and provocative exploration of sexuality from a young girl’s perspective.
