Patrizia

A spoiled millionaire's daughter gets in a scam with her inheritance.

Great EU softcore from the 80's, crammed with sex and nudity but remains surprisingly good-natured. Movie feels like one great erotic summer vacation. Anne Parillaud (about 19 in this movie) looks almost unearthly sexy, is frequently nude and has numerous sexual encounters, the best one a very lengthy sapphic session (with her cousin !).

Another great effort from director Hubert Frank, one of the unsung heroes of 70-80's EU soft core porn.

Watch out for heavily edited versions as the 81 min running time claimed by IMDb is way too short. It is at least 90 min or more.

Anne Parillaud, when gaining international fame thanks to "La femme Nikita", tried to ban this movie. No such luck Anne !

An uplifting tale of a wealthy heiress who just wants to be loved, "Patrizia" achieves nothing less than the culmination of European cinema's unfulfilled promise. Anne Parillaud's youthful exuberance is perfect for the title role, elevating the film to a plateau beyond the reach of mundane 1-10 rating scales. Likewise the fortunate viewer will doubtless be elevated by the sheer joie de vivre indelibly etched into every fiber of this stunning motion picture. Alas, some may be dismayed by the gratuitous nudity, lesbian incest, or even the insinuation of jungle-girl/gorilla-suit-wearing-boy romance. This, however, can be readily rectified by prompt removal of any superfluous objects(heads, thumbs, etc.) from crucial bodily passageways. Regardless, someday this richly rewarding, seldom-seen masterpiece of minimalist excess will take its place alongside the great works of the cinematic art.

This Euro sex farce was popular thanks to leading lady Anne Parillaud, with her silly adventures verging on slapstick hardly of interest -more the nudity and simulated sex scenes. It's one of Hubert Frank's lesser movies in this genre -filmed as a real movie but ridiculous.

A pioneer in creating lavish-looking, globe-hopping sex movies on moderate budgets, his greatest achievement was "Vanessa", starring Olivia Pascal, perhaps the best of hundreds of sex films inspired by the financial success of "Emmanuelle".

Anne Parillaud was immortalized as the title star of Luc Besson's "La Femme Nikita", the often copied and action classic, making her one of the most successful actresses to graduate from sexploitation to mainstream cinema.

Nothing too striking about this film at all unless you are a hard core fan of Anne Parillaud of La Femme Nikita. You get to see her in all of her birthday suit glory which may interest some of you. But if you are looking for story, this is one of many sexually geared films that ask the question "why bother?"

Anne Parilund is HOT! This movie however is not. If you're a huge Anne fan, then by all means seek out this movie. She's smoking in this film. There's more Anne than the average person can handle. Recommended for the sleaze factor alone.
