Angelina

This is fine and you pretty much get what you expect. It is neither as lusciously or obsessively 'Tintoesque' as the DVD description has it but neither as hard edged as some have reported. So, somewhere in the middle as usual, this is well enough filmed but wants to be taken seriously and asks a lot of the lovely Serena Grandi, who is expected to make meaningful gestures one minute and masturbate half naked the next. Actually, the rear view of her with her jeans partially pulled down her bottom makes this one of the better scenes. There is also a very well executed and for me at least fiercely erotic scene in a washroom with a stranger and a rifle, but these scenes aside the film is never wholly cohesive. Enough going on though, I'd say for the film to be recognised as Italian, what with all the Catholic guilt, boys and their mums and the whole angel/whore business. Some pretty strange looking guys too, some of whom look like they've just put down their sword or got out of their chariot.

The movie starring Serena Grandi, a woman of a strong personality, who ( though the story may suggest otherwise) dominates the men around her reducing them to mere background decoration like a table or a curtain.

The story tackles the issue that happens to quite a lot of couples after some ( long ) time of relationship.

Everything is fine but they know each other well, so they can hardly surprise each other, hence there is no excitement.

And there are many ways of trying to find it back like role playing, swinging, cheating.

Serena enters her search after the accident, and her journey is dangerous, that could easy end with self-degradation or even self-destruction.

But the movie offers the way to stop the journey , finally the new experience instead of destroying the relationship brings the couple back together.

Which is an interesting point of view and that ( and Serena ) brings my high score of the movie regardless what I think about the probability of the whole story.

This movie might cross a line for some when it comes to sexual intrusion or maybe even "force". There are scenes in this that are borderline to say the least. There's nothing explicit in it, but men forcing themselves onto a woman. Though the woman has a "hunger" and a need for sexuality in general, it would seem that it crosses this aforementioned line.

Having said that, there's a lot of nudity and the story is somewhat intriguing to watch. A character who's losing control over herself. A marriage that is beyond saving .. or is it? The main actress does a good job and if I understood correctly she got famous playing roles like this (involving nudity and sexual situations). You can still see why she was attracting men and making them lose their mind over her ... which is crucial to this movie in particular of course ...
