often highlight the lead performance of Isabella Cocuzza, the lush cinematography, and the film’s unusual proto-feminist angle. Negative reviews criticize the dubbing (standard for Italian films of the era), the thin plot, and the pacing, which frequently stops for extended erotic sequences.
The film’s average score of 6.1/10 is remarkably honest. It is not a masterpiece, but it is not a failure either. It is a deeply flawed, deeply personal work that rewards patience. For the 1970s European cinema enthusiast, those 90 minutes are essential viewing.
