Picture of Beauty

I mean am I supposed to be mad at the movie? Can it be actually really called that at all though? If you are into beautiful women being naked most of the running time and having ... "fun" with each other or some lucky men ... yeah ok so you could go to other places and find more of what you are looking for. Because while this is borderline hardcore, it only crosses the line occasionally.

Now I mentioned the females but you will see a lot of male nudity in this too. Maybe you are into that (that is beyond me, but it is what it is) - and yes by that I mean the private parts too! So while I thought this would be an artful movie (I guess the painiting at least can be considered that), it probably will not feel like that at all ... I wouldn't know what it feels like to be honest.

The cover pic for this DVD would indicate that this is an erotic girl/girl film, but that's basically a trick from the marketing people to get you interested in watching this dud, as there's really nothing even remotely lesbian about it. OK, I suppose there ARE a couple of brief encounters showing unclad young women in close proximity with other unclad women, but it's painfully obvious that the writer/director included these moments almost accidentally. This film's got an overall uninteresting storyline, and what little sex is included involves guys. But notice how they didn't show any guys on the cover pic? I guess that's because it's always hotter to pretend that your film is mostly about pretty naked girls! So why didn't they actually film it that way?

The description of this film made it seem like a full feature film which it quite has a plot, even if it's very non existent and quite secondary. This film is a European foreign film so we could expect something quite different than the typical Hollywood norms. This is closer to an adult film than an actual feature film. Featuring plenty of explicit nude scenes throughout, with most of which has a male painter painting these young nude women.

There is a brief explicit unsimulated scene which borders on adult film essentials but they try and scope the film with artwork and lavish paintings and such. Overall not a film to watch if you're looking for an actual story. Although it's very short in runtime.

The traditional Hungarian orchestra which provides the soundtrack, the bucolic settings and the cinematography are quite good. But the movie seems to be made by a director and cast with an offbeat sense of humour -it's a kinky story with minimal dialogue and undeveloped characters and really choppy editing set in a quaint folkloristic milieu. To go further over the top, there's frequent male and female nudity and gratuitous "full on" sex scenes ( lesbo and hetero). But hey, just watch it for the music.

Save your time and watch a Tinto Brass if you are in mod for this genre. Soundtrack is so out of place is depressing.
