The story concerns the Yugoslavian holiday of two toothsome Swedish girls. One of the girls, played by Maria Liljedahl, is (metaphorically speaking) a world-champion in the promiscuity sweepstakes, bedding men (and women) in great profusion. Somehow, the movie also manages to be about film reviewers and film directors. Variety) commented '...the film's inherently good visual and physical qualities are themselves dissipated in [the director's] cynicism, ennui, and involuted intellectual mirror tricks.'
Cinematography
Genuinely lovely Yugoslav locations wasted on navel-gazing.
Direction
Mattsson so hates critics he made THEM characters. Petty king.
Director
Arne Mattsson
Trivia, insights & behind the scenes
Maria Liljedahl was already famous from 'I, a Woman' — Mattsson essentially borrowed her exploitation cred for his art-house pretensions.
This belongs to a weird 1970 micro-genre: European 'serious' sex films where directors inserted themselves as tortured artists. Mattsson just made the self-insertion literal.
