Which one of the young girls was Julie Delpy?


The one with the Clarinet or the one who kept taking her top off?

The one with the clarinet.

If she was the one taking her top off, Godard would be in quite a pickle considering she was 14ish ;)

Minors getting naked in movies is not an issue in Europe, not to mention there is nothing illegal about child nudity and there are dozens and dozens of movies, primarily from Europe, that contain it. Your response sounds like you are a typical American.

First of all, I am Maltese. Sorry :}

Secondly, the child here was not depicted simply nude but also in a sexual context (see twenty minutes in). Believe it or not, nudity + sex = challengeable as child pornography. Something a director would very much want to avoid, creating the aforementioned proverbial pickle.

So no need to get defensive for your ability to see kiddies naked. I know European culture enough to know reactions to child nudity, but *spoilerblalba* rubbing a guys penis, pants or not, would not be simple nudity, would it?

Well I haven't seen the movie so I wouldn't be able to say, but just wanted to point that out.
