Review

Could there be a more alluring title for a movie than La Fille de 15 ans (1989)? The name of this dramatically romantic French confection translates literally to The Fifteen-year-old Girl. Portraying a worldly and flirty adolescent vamp whose seductive wisdom belies the innocence of her years, post-pubescent pastry Judith Godrèche brings to life every sensual expectation such a title might arouse. Godrèche’s heady blend of wide-eyed naivety and serpentine sexuality combine to leave a trail of stricken, heart-stunned conquests in her sinuous wake. Will this young male-wrecker ever meet her match? The father of her latest crushed beau believes himself the man to teach the vixen-in-training a harsh life’s lesson. He has a lot to learn.
