Joy

If this movie was Spielberg would have had more. Since these strontium on the assumption that a film must be beautiful to be directed by big names like Spielberg, Lucas, Jackson, Cameron. .. All these assessments are wrong you understand the level of bad opinion of this site. Only films for intellectuals can be saved. This film was produced with many dollars and the optimal use of special effects make the place as among the best science fiction film Americans. Finitela of using double standards when judged as a movie, try to be objective because they give 3.8 a film of its kind and reward a crap how terrible sin city with 8.2 is really a 'offense.

This film was the first of three sequels relating to the trilogy. Not since the days of Sylvia Kristel or Laura Gemser for that manner has there been a movie that has been at least extremely odd for its form over the substance style of eroticism and "Joy" is no exception to the rule or to the latter for that manner.

The film revolves around the sexual adventures of a supermodel(Claudia Udy) and her search for the perfect man which leads her on a course of travels around the earth. The acting is okay,but bland at times,but its camera work that does all the work. The film has been seen only once in America(which is was last shown on Cinemax),but you'll need to see it on video(if they have it on the shelves) if you have nothing else to do.

The story concludes even more with "Joy:Chapter II",which doesn't have the firepower of the original but it has more sex if you're into that sort of stuff. The sequel has our heroine finding the perfect man,only to find out that she has been set up,and so or hero(Claudia Udy)is kidnapped and is brought to exotic land only that she escapes and is befriended by a young lady named Joanna. Not only the two become good friends at least,but they experience their first sexual encounter on a train(and probably the best scene in which these two are in a REAL hot girl/girl love fest and its only in the Unrated version which is very hard to find in some video chains). However,the plot is foggy,but at the end Joy returns to Paris to find her true love(which is the perfect man),or so it seems.

The conclusion in "Joy:Chapter III" is not like the other two,but this one is absolutely horrible from the beginning...avoid at all costs! In this one, Claudia Udy only has a small part in this and exits right out,and in this one Joy travels to Japan were she finds all sorts of sexual adventures,and this one was the worst and the last of the series.

In my honest opinion,the first one shines out from them all.

You can almost get sick of these films, where even based on novels, you know, they're not gonna deliver, like a facade for a lot of nudity and sex. Sadly Joy is that. Again the actors aren't bad, better than what you might expect, though at times, the hot Ms Udy, comes across as a little bumbling and self conscious version of Marilyn Chambers. Though Ms Udy is a much better actress, and sheds a lot of skin, in a lot of stylishly set scenes. This film has style, but is disappointing and suffers on the fact, it's story is shallowly utilized. Udy plays Joy, the supermodel, who's moving up, like now getting into movies. One singular cool shot, shown in the preview, has her chasing down a bad guy, in her hot sports car. Joy, again is an uninhibited character, when it comes to sex, and develops a deep sexual obsession, for a much older guy, who could be her father's age. The end of Joy, too is muddled, in a film which at times, bored and became a drone. Watching Ms Udy though is something. This film is like many others we've seen before, where story is traded for sex and a lot of nudity. Joy has that, esp, the nudity, plus an awful titled, that's paining to hear at it's start.

Sergio Bergonzelli is best known for his extremely odd Giallo effort "In The Folds of The Flesh" and it's mind numbing 'form over substance' style. Joy is no exception when it comes to the latter!

The film itself revolves around supermodel, Joy (Claudia Udy) and her search for sexual fulfilment. This of course entails roaming the earth in search of that elusively perfect man.

This movie is a very easy viewer indeed, what with Claudia Udy naked for most of the film. Plus Bergonzelli really knows how to execute all the pre-requisites of a good film. The acting was a bit bland at times and well there's not much in the way of plot or story. It does on the other hand have some of the most amazing sets and camera work... which is where Bergonzelli really shines!

This movie is supposedly based on an erotic autobiography by one "Joy Laury". Obviously, it is another knock-off (a French-Canadian one this time) of the 1974 European film "Emmanuelle". Although they were never exactly good, I kind of like the 1970's "Emmanuelle"-type films, but this, uh, genre, had grown really tired by 1983, and this film really adds nothing new. It's not as well-made as the early Sylvia Kristel "Emmanuelle" films. It's not as erotic as some of the earlier "Emmanuelle" knock-offs like the German film "Vanessa". And it's not nearly as demented and weird as some of the "Emmanuelle", um, re-imaginings like the notorious Joe D'Amato-Laura Gemser "Black Emanuelle" series (which featured cannibals, snuff films, etc.). Canuck actress Claudia Udy plays a model who's dating a rock musician, but then falls madly in love with an older man. She finds some success after a modeling shoot and goes to America to appear in a movie (which looks like it's even worse than this one). Despite a lot of temptation, she stays more or less faithful to her new love, but then she discovers he WANTS her to have sex with five guys at a time while he watches.

Okay, Udy has a very nice body, but I've seen her in other stuff and she just can't act. It also doesn't help that she and everyone else are very badly dubbed into English. Segio Begonzelli is an interesting director (notice I didn't say "good"), but this is by far his least interesting film. It's too stylized and very pretentious (there's one scene where "Joy" discards her panties, spreads her legs, and displays herself as part of some half-assed art exhibit, which we're supposed to believe is high art). I sometimes find the European pretentiousness and the ridiculous dialogue amusing in these films, but here it's mostly just annoying. I do (kind of) like these kind of films, but this one just didn't do it for me.
