have seen some shocking images in movies... but that one surprised me! i am amazed the u.s. version got away with showing a nude young girls privates. i can't beleive a movie with that type of image exists in the u.s.
shareIn at least one country (Australia), the censorship board determined this scene was actually made with a prosthetic dummy. I don't know if they got this information from Breillat herself or her film company or whether it's just what they assumed.

I liked this film. :)

Muffa-muffa-muffin time!"
Brief as it was, the young girl's privates shocked me more than anything else in this movie. French film-makers (Breillat especially, see 'Fat Girl' also), seem to have no restraints when it comes to child nudity. So many French movies contain it, and they all get past the censors (although I don't know how). So much for kids' innocence, when they are being negatively exploited in movies like this. Others are the aforementioned 'Fat Girl', and the interestingly titled 'Innocence'. Not good.
I'm still working on my signature...
What was shocking about it in 'Innocence'?

In the film Anatomie de L’enfer (Anatomy of Hell), some sectors of the community were concerned by a simulated depiction of a child having the arm of a pair of spectacles inserted into her vagina and a group of boys laughing over the liquid that was apparent after removal.
The Australian Family Association argued that this was child sex abuse and the film should have been refused classification. However, the Classification Review Board – taking into account that the scene was a simulated one in which the ‘child’ was a prosthetic dummy and the insertion of the object took place off camera – in a majority decision concluded that the scene wasn’t an ‘offensive’ depiction.
In a sexual context like this, the shot was a little tasteless, yes, but I don't understand how the child nudity in "Fat Girl" or many other films is "negatively exploiting" the children. Is it because nudity is evil and disgusting? Um......

I always assumed the body was either a prosthetic or a youthful looking adult woman who had been shaved. I suspect you couldn't show a naked child in such an obviously sexual situation e.g. vaginal penetration.
