Quote:
"The relationship of older men to younger women is now so tainted with lascivious projections that it is difficult to remember the affirmation a young girl can experience with the attention of an older man. [Micheline] Lanctôt captures that, however [in Sonatine], with minimal dialogue and an astute understanding of gesture."
