Christopher Null
Christopher Null founded Filmcritic.com in 1995.
36 Fillette (referring to a junior clothing size) feels like a first film, but Catherine Breillat had been toiling away for more than a decade before turning out this rough and often slipshod flick, an obvious precursor to her later works about young girls and the boundaries between sex and violence. Here, a blossoming Delphine Zentout teases man after man until finding one she's willing to bed, consequences be damned. Extremely gritty (both in tone and production values), it's not for everyone and comes across a little too unpolished, though supporters will argue this was on purpose.
