What Does a Sympathetic Portrayal of Sexual Assault on Screen Look Like?
As Sexual Assault Awareness Month comes to an end, I’d like to urge viewers and filmmakers to take a long and hard look at how rape is portrayed on screen.
La sucette magique
Jacques Marbeuf plays a fortune teller who seduces women with the help of his assistant and manipulated lollipops. One girl reports him to the police; so he decides to run a marriage bureau. Some of his 'female victims' have already changed sides and work for him to lure male clients whom they feed with their 'sucettes magiques'. Even the investigating policemen can't resist them. In the end oil is found on Marbeuf's property in the Camargue and he gets rich.
