Intriguing, macabre and brilliantly acted – a must see film!
Wow, where has this little flick been? The Little Girl who Lives Down the Lane is an intriguing mystery, an intense character portrait and a dark, brooding thriller all rolled into one rather odd little package – and on a personal note, I liked it a lot! The film has gained some notoriety (although not as much as it would have if it was more seen) for the scene involving a thirteen year old Jodie Foster undressing – but that never offsets the point of the film, and besides that; it’s hardly like the scene has just been thrown in to satisfy the perverts in the audience. Furthermore, the most shocking scene in the film involves a hamster with no naked teenage girl present! Anyway, The Little Girl Who Lives Down the Lane is about a young girl, living down a quiet lane with her poet father. Only nobody has ever this man, and it isn’t long before nosey neighbours – such as the perverted Frank Hallet and his enquiring, power mad mother comes sniffing round, eager to upset her life. She’s not quick to let them know the truth, however, and along with her boyfriend; a crippled young magician from the neighbourhood, she is forced to take steps to preserve her independence.

The most obvious theme running through the film stems from loneliness, and how being brought up on your own will ultimately leave you a different person to if things such as schools are allowed to take charge. This is interesting; as it preaches the idea of social conditioning makes up the person more than most like to admit. The film is often touted as being a horror, but this is incorrect. While the film does feature several macabre instances, and a foreboding and mysterious atmosphere that is present throughout the run time; there’s very little in the way of actual horror. The Little Girl Who Lives Down the Lane is much more of a drama-come-mystery than a horror film. The film is probably most notable for it’s lead performance. Jodie Foster had already impressed in 1976 with her role in Martin Scorsese’s hit film, Taxi Driver – but here she is far better. Despite her young age, Foster commands the screen and despite being a child, her maturity and acting talent shine through to make this a more complete performance than most actresses manage in a lifetime.

On the whole, this film was once hard to come by; but with the new DVD currently doing the rounds, the film should be seen by everyone. The Little Girl Who Lives Down the Lane fits snugly alongside the rest of the classics of the seventies, and the fact that it has only just resurfaced is one of cinema’s biggest injustices. Highly recommended viewing!

Outlandish drama about a lonely little girl excellently performed by a precocious Jodie Foster
The film concerns about a rare thirteen years old little girl(Jodie Foster: Bugsy Malone) and whose father is never at home . She receives various visits, an old woman(Alexis Smith) owner her rented house, a child molester(Martin Sheen), a patrolman(Schuman)and a young boy(Scott Jacoby) dressed as magician. Meantime, the young girl starring hides something in her cellar.

This is an offbeat and intelligent drama-suspense with good performances, though some moments is slow moving. Based on a novel written and penned by the screenwriter Laird Koenig. Casting is really magnificent with sensational main actors and supporting cast. Jodie Foster as premature nubile is outstanding, the film belongs her period when played turbid characters such as ¨Taxi driver¨ and ¨Foxes¨, counterpoint her sweets characters such as,¨Tom Sawyer¨ and ¨Napoleon and Samantha¨. Martin Sheen is very fine as nasty children lover and the veteran Alexis Smith, famed actress who played with Errol Flynn, is excellent as distrusted proprietary. The movie displays a glimmer cinematography and nice soundtrack accompanied by classic music score by Shuman and piano concert by Chopin. The motion picture is professionally directed by Nicolas Gessner. He’s a mediocre director, this one is his best movie, he directed to Ben Gazzara in ¨Quicker than the eye¨and to Charles Bronson in ¨Someone behind the door¨. The film will like to Jodie Foster fans.
