Connections Edited into Chop Suey User reviews 85 Review. Top review. Beautiful, intelligent, evocative. Louis Malle did an amazing job of portraying the Storyville life red light district , and the lives of the women caught up in it.
He gets the finest work out of his cast, and demonstrates what it makes him a master filmmaker: not someone who just makes movies to impress other directors, but someone who touches an audience. He begins and ends the film with the camera slowly closing in on the wide eyes of its child-lead, making you wonder how her life will proceed, having seen what she's seen.
It makes you wonder whether marriage, in those times, was any different for a woman than prostitution. Mostly, you have to wonder how Violet could adapt to normal life, with the strange perspective she's had on it so far. The petulance and "spoiled"ness described in the review below, are merely her childishness, to illustrate that she is an ordinary child in bizarre circumstances.
For those not carried away by Shields' appearance, this made the film very poignant -- this child doesn't even know that there is any other way to live. And the viewer can put away concerns for Shields herself: the nude scenes were done by a body-double, despite what is listed in the "trivia" section of this listing. I know someone who later worked with the body double. Details Edit. Release date April 5, United States. United States. Paramount Pictures. Box office Edit. Technical specs Edit.
