Retrospectiva Alberto Cavalcanti
LA P’TITE LILIE (1927)
FRANCE
In this surrealistic comedy, little Lilie, happy at the age of 16, becomes a prostitute after she is duped by a gigolo who passed as her friend. In endeavoring to break loose from this situation, Lilie plans to escape, one rainy day, but is savagely knifed. The film is a version for cinema of music by Gravel and Vence, recorded by Darius Milhaud. The tone is of a tragic, impressionistic fable, acted out by director Jean Renoir in the role of the gigolo.
