How does one describe the indescribable? This is not a logical film. I believe it to be a fever dream from the mind of a 13-year-old girl who is just discovering sexual urges. But that makes it sound much dirtier than it is.
What makes this such a unique achievement for director Jaromir Jires is that its main character is undoubtedly sexual in her thoughts, yet it never feels dirty. Instead, with its striking imagery and odd logic, it portrays fascination with erotic interest in a way I have never seen portrayed. Thanks to TCM for airing it. It is apparently hard to find, but hard to forget. Grade: A-
