Assuming you mean the second one. I just watched it again. I don't see how it infantilizes women, unless your going to argue that the woman in the film represents all women. The title refers to innocence and I think the reason why she appears so childish is because she is meant to represent innocence.
Having said that, its not a great film. I just thought it interesting that it had been made using Saudek's style as a reference.
yeah the 2nd She was just so overtly childish to the point of mockery. No not all women I did not see it that way, just a woman. You ever hear the quote by Shirley MacLaine that says something to the effect that the only roles for women in hollywood is hookers, victims and doormats. It is like cinema just always places women in these roles. Not to much the case with other arts, which is interesting.

that movie is um...slightly infantilizing to women.
The first or the second?
