A Very Curious Girl (1969)
A Very Curious Girl (1969)
Overview
A Very Curious Girl follows a young French woman, treated as village property, who turns the tables on her exploiters by commodifying the very thing they demanded for free. Directed by Nelly Kaplan in 1969, the film arrives squarely in the French New Wave moment and carries its feminist politics openly. The protagonist dismantles patriarchal and religious hypocrisy from the inside, which is why Leans Progressive fits. Female sexual agency drives the entire plot as both economic strategy and social revenge. The rural community's moral authority, including its Christianity, is portrayed as cover for exploitation. There are no moderating signals strong enough to pull the label toward center.
Starring Cast
Bernadette Lafont • Georges Géret • Henri Czarniak
