Supposedly shocking documentary on teenagers of the late 60s. The problem is that the purportedly real footage of teenagers drinking, making out and taking drugs is no longer shocking. Also it is coupled with the worst narration I have ever heard--it was just so insipid and stupid that I stared at the screen in disbelief. At first it's kind of fun (because it's so pathetic) but it quickly becomes dull. We see footage of teenagers all over the world (the U.S., Japan, Rome, Italy, Sweden) but there is very little conversation with them. Also there are two sequences dealing with Italian prostitutes which might be interesting, but they're speaking Italian and there's no subtitles! There are a few (very few) interesting moments--some actual footage of a drug party; an interview with a 17-year-old English girl prostitute and a surprisingly non-judgmental, open look at a gay Italian teenage boy. The movie ends with another--I think--real scene of an actual birth. Ugh. Also boys are almost completely ignored in this movie--the focus is on teenage girls and endless lingering shots of them in bikinis. All in all though, this movie is deservedly obscure. If you're desperate...
