How Funny Can Sex Be?

There are eight episodes in this sex comedy. The episodes are so short that they lack development, meaning, progression and are pretty boring. Although this is a "sex" comedy, and the subject is sex, the movie is practically PG-13. The subjects of the episodes are pretty repellent, with titles like "Sex in Shantytown". The actor Giancarlo Giannini plays each of the lead roles in the episodes, and his performances are really the only reason to watch this film.

This movie is probably one of the worst I've ever seen. It is made up of short sketches that turns around sex and some perversion but they were badly executed. In the first place there were three main actors who are the leads of every sketch but I didn't buy their performance even a little bit. Then the audio and image quality was very low, even for a '70s movie. But the worst problem is that this film should be a comedy but I almost never laugh for a joke inside of it because the comedic writing and timing were really bad. Instead I laugh a lot for the ugliness of this film. Once you see this one, it will easily become a legend, something that you'll never forget, a new standard for horrible movies. At least I didn't find the willingness to make a film to take seriously but it isn't also something merely intended to be trash. In conclusion I suggest this movie to everyone who wants to laugh on how not to make movies.

Normally the epithet "sexy comedy" is a cinematic death knell, but the cooperation of the fantastic Laura Antonelli, Giancarlo Giannini and director Dino Risi turned this into a timeless classic. And yes, it's funny and sexy. In nine segments and probably inspired, in a good way, by Woody Allen's "What You Always Wanted To Know About Sex" which was released a year earlier.

Some short episodes unrelated to each other that tell relationships of love and sex with a thousand different facets, sometimes goliardic, sometimes sad.

I am writing this review on 2021 May 3rd.

I can only say Giancarlo Giannini is one of the extraordinary actors of Italian Film Industry of late 70s.

There are other bad review comments about him but for serious actor like him to do this kind comedy, it takes some serious acting skills.

Watch Sensous sicilian for his remarkable performance in the last scene and in Seven Beauties

I should also say that i could not take my eyes away from Laura Antonelli(1941-2015) for whenever she appears in the screen.

Totally i loved this film and enamored in Laura Antonelli. May her soul rest in piece.

Hats off to Dino Risi,Giancarlo Giannini and Laura Antonelli.
