Young, nubile 17 year old Anita (Lindberg) is a raging nymphomaniac. She picks random dudes off of the street and proceeds to “wet their willy”, “shine their helmet, and/or “ride their pony”. Oh, God, someone stop me, I’m in hyper-euphemism mode! Anywhoo, she doesn’t discriminate with whom she gets busy; old, young, fat, ugly. She doesn’t care. When she gets the “urge to merge”, nothing can stop her. There I go again, sorry.
Then she meets Eric, a handsome Psychology major (Skarsgård) from the University after he literally stumbles upon her as she is, um, finishing one of her… clients? No, that would mean she charged. Partners? OK, that’s close enough. He finds her as she is saying her good-byes and asks what she is doing. After she explains, he takes her back to the University housing where he lives with a bunch of people. He figures he can fix her problem.
After finding out all about her past and what could be the cause of her condition, he tries to help he get through it. His hypothesis is that if she can have an orgasm, she can be broken from the emotions that led her to have these compulsions. He has made it a point to not get seduced by her but while treating her, he falls in love. Before he can tell her how he feels, she relapses and finds a gang of thieves and lets them have their way with her. Feeling ashamed, she stays away from Eric. Will she “cum” back to Eric and live happily ever after? (I know, off to the ‘pun chair’ with me!)
So if you are any kind of exploitation fan, you know of Swedish Sex Goddess, Christina Lindberg. You probably know her from Thriller: A Cruel Picture which is a far cry from Anita. Anita is like an After School Special on crack. It’s a dramatic love story with tits and sex. The overall tone is downbeat and Anita’s problem is dealt with in a serious manner.
But how can such lurid subject matter be taken seriously? She’s 17 years old and sucks off old ugly guys in make-shift tents by the river for godsake. Lindberg is even more attractive in this movie because of her baby-faced beauty and shy demeanor that barely covers her voracious sexual appetites. If you are a fan of hers, do yourself a favor and pick this one up. Highly recommended just for her being naked 40% (approx.) of the run time alone.
I can’t imagine how this film could stay serious!
Also, what do you use to take your screenshots with? I’ve been having trouble taking them.
I usually try to find a trailer online and just do caps from there. Most of the time that works.
This looks and sounds quite good. You’ve made it sound more-or-less genuine (puns and cliches aside). Sounds like a serious piece of sexploitation. And with Christina Lindberg, I’m serious about her, so I should pick it up. Impulse seems to do a good job with thier DVDs too.
christina is seriously beatiful and this film has been hovering around on my shopping list for a fair bit of time, unfortunately current economic climate means its there to stay for a while.
Pity really, she is a real sexpot.
I feel your pain, Herman. Since you are a fan of Lindberg’s, I would suggest selling your belongings and buy this. You won’t be disappointed.
:O)
Yeah this arthouse film about an orgasm is definitely a must have for Christina Lindberg fans. I take it your looking forward to Maid in Sweden
“Maid in Sweden” is high on my list of “to get” DVDs for sure.
Looks like a Jess Franco inspired movie.
Except less bloody.
I’m a big fan of Christina. She’s a goddess among women. I’ve always wanted to see this film. Your review has my interest heightened even more.
