Picture of Beauty

I have the need to defend this movie. It's slow, there are barely any dialogue, the performance it's not good, it's full of art that do not belong to that time, but! This film is an excuse to present beautiful nude people, ladies and gentlemen as well, with them on long scenes enjoying themselves around the lake. They live in the opposite way of a priest and his two nuns who enjoy ruining others lives and declaring around what is a sin.

Do not expect too much out of it, just enjoy the images, the nude bodies and the sex.

The cover pic for this DVD would indicate that this is an erotic girl/girl film, but that's basically a trick from the marketing people to get you interested in watching this dud, as there's really nothing even remotely lesbian about it. OK, I suppose there ARE a couple of brief encounters showing unclad young women in close proximity with other unclad women, but it's painfully obvious that the writer/director included these moments almost accidentally. This film's got an overall uninteresting storyline, and what little sex is included involves guys. But notice how they didn't show any guys on the cover pic? I guess that's because it's always hotter to pretend that your film is mostly about pretty naked girls! So why didn't they actually film it that way?

Better than average - which isn't saying much - screenplay for an almost hardcore flick. If flat-chested women with Hungarian music in the background is your thing, go for it. Special mention to the Polish actors who memorized the few lines they had in English.

The traditional Hungarian orchestra which provides the soundtrack, the bucolic settings and the cinematography are quite good. But the movie seems to be made by a director and cast with an offbeat sense of humour -it's a kinky story with minimal dialogue and undeveloped characters and really choppy editing set in a quaint folkloristic milieu. To go further over the top, there's frequent male and female nudity and gratuitous "full on" sex scenes ( lesbo and hetero). But hey, just watch it for the music.

The description of this film made it seem like a full feature film which it quite has a plot, even if it's very non existent and quite secondary. This film is a European foreign film so we could expect something quite different than the typical Hollywood norms. This is closer to an adult film than an actual feature film. Featuring plenty of explicit nude scenes throughout, with most of which has a male painter painting these young nude women.

There is a brief explicit unsimulated scene which borders on adult film essentials but they try and scope the film with artwork and lavish paintings and such. Overall not a film to watch if you're looking for an actual story. Although it's very short in runtime.
