Any child of the 1970s knows what Eva Ionesco is talking about.
His first novel was called
Innocence:
the title was ironic.
Innocence is a luxury that all children born in 1965 were deprived of.
At home, the children are dressed as adults like in the movie
Bugsy Malone.
Since
My Little Princess
(2011), her first feature film, Eva Ionesco has described the seventies with a sort of snobbish banter to be situated between the Céline of
Death on Credit
and the Pacadis of the
“chic young man”.

The supreme elegance of Eva Ionesco is to recount her childhood as a victim of child pornography without “victimization”.
It is her pride that saves her.
This baby star took refuge very early in worldly superficiality.
We feel Eva obsessed with clothes and parties so as not to face her pain.
She clings to a gang of night owl buddies because she is exploited, manipulated, alternately abandoned and abused by a toxic mother, and feels
"like duct tape attracting flies"
.
