The film is a strange dichotomy. On one hand, it was hailed as a "humanity and beauty" exploration of a taboo subject, lauded for its gorgeously atmospheric photography by Ingmar Bergman's legendary cinematographer, Sven Nykvist. On the other, it was immediately set upon by a firestorm of controversy. Pretty Baby 1978 Original vhs rip - UNCUT- 1
