"Bad Girl" is the tragic story of Lara, a lower middle class girl
of unusual beauty and naivete whose obsessive quest for a pop
culture romantic life leads her into a series of sexual
relationships, first, with her fellow high school students, later,
with her high school phys ed instructor, then the companionship of
a rough group of dopers, and finally into an abortive career as a
call girl. She gradually disintegrates into periods of drug-induced
obliviousness, at one point finding herself the object of an
attempted gang-rape, left abandoned by the roadside. What happens
after that is the sad finale to a young girl's romantic
aspirations. Sympathy for Lara is sustained as we observe her
self-destructive behavior. The story has some explicit sexual
scenes which are not gratuitous, but develop in the course of the
youth's misdirected aspirations.
