Silvia is not so innocent as Laura and neither so nuts as Fabrizio. By the way, from these characters Silvia is maybe the least important but on the other hand it is the only one who keeps its feet on the ground. Personally I think it could have been better to get a younger actor for the Fabrizio character, someone closer to the girls age. The acting could have been better, but if you have in count these 3 kids were the only characters who carried the entire movie on their shoulders they were great. Silvia (Eva Ionesco, 11): the dream blonde coming from outer space, the arrogant and malicious girl who is aware of her extreme beauty and will use it to manipulate other people. Laura (Lara Wendel, 12): the lovely, sensitive and naive girl who is in love with someone who doesn't love her back, the girl who will do ANYTHING to be with the others, even if that means to be humiliated to death.įabrizio (Martin Loeb, 18): the screwed-up boy who controls other people deliberately using his strength and self-confidence superiority, the selfish boy who doesn't give a damn for anybody, the guy who is bad and enjoy it. Actually this is how the film works, because you can find these stereotypes in almost every person: I can't help finding these 3 characters highly stereotypical, but this is necessary. The story is about 3 adolescents who spend their holidays in a forest. Then you will be able to see what is in the core of this tale. I mean, you have to admit they are human beings too. This film is not for everybody, not recommended for those close minded conservative people who think kids are completely innocent creatures with no sexual desire, no bad intentions, no nothing. This is one of those rare films you want to stop in the first minutes because what is shown goes beyond you, but for some reason you keep watching. Actually it has a VERY DEEP meaning: It's a perfect tale visually beautiful and with a great score. Let me tell you this movie has a lot more than nude scenes. You're going to want to buy this one and watch it over and over again.ĭon't let the controversy fools you. Nevertheless it is such a rare and beautiful film, it thoroughly deserves to be at the very top of your "Must-See" list. On the negative side, the story-line, of adolescents' cruelty to one another, may not be to everyone's liking, and, at the time of writing, no-one has yet sub-titled the film in English. If there are laws in your area which prevent you from watching the full film, get those ridiculous laws changed! It will be worth your while.Īs well as Eva, it has some very beautiful music, beautiful cinematography, and Lara Wendel is also beautiful. I advise against watching this version, as it spoils the film badly.Ĭensoring this film is like wiping the smile off the Mona Lisa! Find the uncensored version. There is a heavily-censored version available, with eleven minutes of the most beautiful parts chopped out. Even though it was made in 1977, it is still the most sought-after film on the internet. I have to give this film a ten out of ten, even though it does have some weaknesses, because it is the main early film of the world's most beautiful young lady, Eva Ionesco. Tensions between the three characters, the love triangle is increased and reached its peak - breaking tragedy. And in this play Fabrice actively playing to Sylvia, as young as Laura, but more daring and insolent. Laura is set as a slave, infinitely loving his master. The boy, in the literal sense of the word, begins to showboat unfortunate Laura, on her affection and her feelings. But love, accentuated sex, brings the fruits of problems and a fair share of disappointments. The first proximity, and it seems that she is happy in this world and their joint happiness indestructible. The forest, with its mysterious places: the ruins, caves, waterfalls, lakes, becomes a place of regular meetings of the 12-year-old Laura with a few eccentric boy Fabrizio, who is experiencing a serious crisis of adolescence problems. A teen boy grows from playing and fighting with his German-shepherd dog, to playing kids and adult games with two equally young girls, in a dream-like forest which eventually turns eerie, and somber.Īlso: Adolescent Malice, Puppy Love, Spielen wir Liebe,
