Young and Beautiful

A portrait of a 17-year-old girl in four songs and four seasons, Young and Beautiful gives François Ozon (8 Women, Swimming Pool) a chance to capture another memorable female performance. The magnetic newcomer Marine Vacth stars as Isabelle, a teenager who explores her emerging sexuality by setting up a secret life as a call girl for older gentlemen. Remaining curiously aloof to both the encounters and the money, Isabelle remains an enigma as Ozon refrains from offering easy answers. (95 mins., DCP)
