L'età della malizia

A bunch of jerks and A-holes!! Inga put on a good show of being innocent but is very immoral. Greta was the only likeable character. I know this isn't meant to be a serious movie but the messages it sends are awful. Rape a girl long enough and good enough and she will begin to like it and fall in love with you! I don't know which character was worse, Inga or her sisters boyfriend. Both are scum. I liked the interview at the end, Christine Lindberg was still an attractive older lady though I would never guess she was the same person.

Inga, 16, travels to the city to visit her sister Greta. The walls of Greta's apartment are thin and soon Inga hears Greta and her boyfriend, Carsten making love. Inga's arousal and subsequent journey into adulthood are beautifully and tastefully depicted. The film is lit with exquisite subtlety and edited with calm good taste. Maid in Sweden was one of the first adult films to play in mainstream theaters in the early seventies, and as a sixteen year old myself at the time, this film had particular relevance for me. Upon seeing the film again it still stands the test of time.

'Maid in Sweden' is a soft porn. starring Christina Lindberg. For those old enough to remember, it evokes nice memories about the love & sex morals of the early seventies.

Although 'Maid in Sweden' offers us a coherent story, one cannot overlook its downright lousy acting - in particular that of Lindberg herself. Its shooting could also have been done better, even by the standards of 1971.

My DVD also offers a recent 10 minutes-interview with 57-year old Christina Lindberg. Although she answers her questions politely enough, one feels that Lindberg has left the nude shooting in her young life behind her a long ago ago already.

Listed as first film for Christina Lindberg , who must have found it difficult to top herself after such an outstanding visual start. I would certainly recommend this film and any others she appeared in during that time frame. However, except for one other, it appears difficult to locate copies of her subsequent films. Certainly that covers those in which she had a leading role. As for the film, I felt enough thought went into the story line to make it much better than you might expect for this type of film.

Rape and more rape, while capitalizing on the over-developed (and heavy-cellulite) body of the leading lady.

If you want to watch a post-60's genre flick of Swedish culture in the early 70's this movie is probably a fair example. But most likely it's the near X-rated skin and sex that will draw most curious viewers.

As far as seeing nude females and some sex action, it's disgusting that much of it results from rape, and the plot has almost no sensitivity to the character's feelings or trauma.

As far as the acting, the plot is very thin and the actors as well. There is little depth or purpose for this movie aside from being a vehicle for nudity and sex.

If you enjoyed movies such as Candy (Ewa Aulin) and enjoy seeing a character repeatedly sexually abused, then you will probably enjoy this movie, unfortunately.

This movie is basically sexploitation.
