Titled after the name of a little girl's dress size, the coming-of-age drama 36 Fillette follows a couple days in the life of 14-year-old Lili (Delphine Zentout), whose physically mature features contrast with her immature adolescent angst. Away from her home in Paris, she is painfully bored during a summer vacation in a windy little campground near the resort town of Biarritz. She's stuck with her emotionally unavailable parents (Adrienne Bonnet and Jean-Francois Stevenin) and older brother J.P. (Stephane Moquet). After some blatant begging on her part, J.P. eventually agrees to take her out to a disco. They don't have a car, so they hitch a ride from the middle-aged Maurice (Etienne Chicot), who is out cruising in his sports car. Maurice and J.P. go to a disco, but Lili is too young to get in. She spends the evening at a café talking to the celebrity musician Boris Golovine (Jean-Pierre Leaud), but she agrees to meet Maurice for a date at midnight. After much pleading with the doorman, Lili is allowed in to the disco where she dances with Maurice. Eventually, she leaves the club with him and spends the evening in his fancy hotel room. 36 Fillette was written and directed by Catherine Brelliat, who adapted the screenplay from her own semi-autobiographical novel. ~ Andrea LeVasseur, All Movie Guide

| so mixing in a lot of lolita.. with a stereotype of french girls.. all pouty, sexual and the such.. i just didn't get the jist of this movie.. watching lilli weave her very non existent charm around boris.. was funny..although i don't think it was supposed to be. there is no chemistry between them.. and mixed with the very weird scenes with her parents and brother.. i am left dumbfounded. also the transfer on the dvd.. as said in a previous review.. sucked... plus the cheesy 80's music.. vomit. |

| This Fox-Lorber edition is panned and scanned and has an awful transfer. So, I didn't watch the movie. It's one of the worst DVDs I've ever seen. |
