The stylish opening credits--featuring wisps of smoke curling sensually up and sideways--declare The Girl's intentions: This is going to be a modern film noir in which compulsive passions lead to violence and disaster. The narrator, dressed in the chic lesbian butch uniform of a dark two-piece suit and a crisp white shirt, has become obsessed with a femme nightclub singer with rapturous long curly hair, known only as the Girl. Despite the Girl's initial reluctance, the two begin an affair, only to have it threatened by a vicious nightclub owner, who feels that the singer is his property. Don't watch The Girl expecting a driving plot; the movie circles around its lovers, letting their evasive conversations and steamy lovemaking (The Girl features a lot of nudity and some fairly explicit sex) tell the tale. The actors and the cinematography are gorgeous. --Bret Fetzer

34 of 35 people found the following review helpful ![]() By This review is from: The Girl (DVD) "The first time I ask her, she takes me home..."The moment those words are spoken, you know this is not your traditional lesbian romance movie! In fact, there is little traditional about the film adaptation of Monique Wittig's story, the Girl. From the nuance of characters without names, to the sparse dialogue and haunting jazz soundtrack, the Girl is an intricate weaving of all the classics -passion, jealousy, and revenge - tightly rolled into 84 minutes of cinematic style and more than a little erotic sizzle. Based in the smoky nightclubs of Paris, the story starts off in narrative style by the Painter, a brooding, sexy, dark-eyed beauty played by Agathe de la Boulaye, who is irresistibly drawn to a nightclub singer, the Girl, beautifully played by Claire Keim. Ladies, these two are hot! The Painter alone is worth the ticket price-she could make butterflies flutter with just that quirky little smile! The first night they are together, the Girl tells her it's "only for one...

If you'd like to have a nice night alone with your lover have a couple of drinks and watch The Girl. The plot isn't the best, the story telling can be slow, and at times it's poorly edited....BUT...the love scenes are very HOT!! The women who play the Painter and The Girl are beautiful and their on screen chemistry is very believable. There's even a brief full frontal scene bordering on the edges of soft porn. If you and yours like beautiful women that love women The Girl will add some heat to your own life. Have Fun! :.) 7 of 7 people found the following review helpful ![]() By "4theroses" (berkley) - See all my reviews This review is from: The Girl (DVD) There is a simple story line...but after you learn it the story goes no where...and having a woman with a gun does not save the film..the director of photography gave a nice feel to the film....but the director failed horribly....the actors are pretty, but they can not act...so in essence you are looking at a pretty picture that moves...This is not a movie this is not filmaking...it is almost like an ad for a film that never exists due to amateurs...it would have potential if it had a good director and a better screenplay...hmmm I guess it had no hope...If you want to see great lesbian filmaking and movies worth their price or rental value...go get "Aimee and Jaguar" "When Night Falls" and of course "A Family Affair" which is the #1 lesbian film this year in sales for a reason...and if you want erotica...INESCAPABLE comes out in 2004...viewed as a groundbreaking erotic drama unlike any before it, as sexy as a film can be and more...."The girl" fails but there is hope for the future!!! |
