1/10
Horribly dated, creepy titillating Lolita fluff. *spoilers*

Warning: Spoilers
As a young woman I was nauseated to see how one dimensional the Louna character was and the whole premise was like something out of a bad 1970s exploitation film. I literally know and have never known any women or girls who exist like this creature Louna. She exists merely as a plot device fantasy object to titillate middle aged men who think they have a hope in hell of bedding a beautiful young 17 year old. It is creepy beyond belief and the fact that she would want to have sex with her dad's best friend with her dad nearby has a incestuous kind of undertone that I found repellent. Trust me, any normal girl does not want to be having sex with someone with her dad in the same house or nearby. The fact that it's her dad's old best friend she wants to bone is just so much worse.

At least the Marie character (the only convincing performance) calls her dad a pervert and her friend a slut for it, as any young girl would whose best friend sleeps with her old dad. He is said to be 45 in the film but Cassel looks older (because he is, he would have been late 40s when this was filmed). CLuzet's naff depiction of being an old pervert on the beach ogling young women's bums over his sunglasses didn't work at all. I wonder why he took this gig as he comes off as too respectable to be convincing as an old leering codger.

Cassel's character's feeble protestations at Louna's demented seduction techniques are pathetic and don't come off as comedy but bizarro tragedy.

Yeah avoid, at least I didn't pay to see this turd.

This film has absolutely no place in 2017. Gross.
