Pervert Pictures x Scalarama Leeds presents SUGAR, SPICE & EVERYTHING NICE PART 3: 'The Lover' - the final film in a season exploring cinema's sexualisation of girls.
Based on Marguerite Duras' 1984 memoir, 'The Lover' is an erotic, sweaty and divisive romantic drama complicated by both the ages of its lovers and the colonial backdrop of French Indo-China.
In 1920s Vietnam, a 15-year-old girl from a poor and troubled family, played by a just-turned-18 Jane March, enters a sexual relationship with a wealthy Chinese man (Tony Leung). Duras narrates her own story (voiced by Jeanne Moreau) - romanticises it, idealises it, enjoys it. Images of children are more controversial than ever and 'The Lover' is an intriguing example of the power that images are perceived to hold.
