A Real Young Girl

Bored and restless, Alice spends much of her time lusting after Jim, a local sawmill worker. When not lusting after him, Alice fills the hours with such pursuits as writing her name on a mirror with vaginal secretions and wandering the fields with her underwear around her ankles. And, in true teenaged tradition, she spends a lot of time writing in her diary.
One of the most bizarre films on coming of age, this narrative is raw and weird, functioning as a deconstruction of this time period. The imagination of the protagonist, Alice (Charlotte Alexandra), moves from the erotic to the scatological in a unique and surprisingly natural way. Although the film has an irregular pace and some excessively random scenes, it stands out for the boldness and transgression of its uncomfortable, peculiar and extremely intriguing content.
