What is up with European directors and the exploration of female pubescent sexuality

Rating: Null/10 (24 May 2007)

Why do we keep watching these well made , well crafted films, clearly made by "grown men", which seem to be nothing more than the display of a 13 year old girls coming into woman-hood? "The Professional" was a perfect example. "Pan's Labrynth", another moment of the examination of a budding (and look at the young actress playing the leads) woman miring in the muck of the complexities of adulthood? The use of a young, pubescent actress, way too full of an adult form of sexual attraction, sent to manipulate our sympathies in the name of an artistic point!.?
Frankly, I'm a bit disgusted. What more to say I have no clear idea. Surely though, I know I am being manipulated.
