Pretty Baby

"In 1917, in the red-light district of New Orleans, they called her Pretty Baby"

Internationally acclaimed director Louis Malle has taken a taboo subject, child prostitution, and created in Pretty Baby a film of humanity and beauty. E.J. Bellocq (Keith Carradine) is a photographer in 1917 obsessed with the prostitutes in New Orleans red light district. Violet, 12 year old Brooke Shields, a young girl, bewitches Bellocq with her curiosity and na?ve coquettishness. Malle's level headed treatment of this controversial theme and exceptional performances by the entire cast especially Susan Sarandon as Violet's prostitute mother make Pretty Baby a must see for all serious film fans.
