Picture of Beauty

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?

I have the need to defend this movie. It's slow, there are barely any dialogue, the performance it's not good, it's full of art that do not belong to that time, but! This film is an excuse to present beautiful nude people, ladies and gentlemen as well, with them on long scenes enjoying themselves around the lake. They live in the opposite way of a priest and his two nuns who enjoy ruining others lives and declaring around what is a sin.

Do not expect too much out of it, just enjoy the images, the nude bodies and the sex.

... if you're looking for a film that shows an artist capturing naked tableaux of pretty girls - although several of the painting scenes (and outdoor shots) look very much like similar settings to that film. Also, although this film *does* attempt a (literal) framing device and backstory for the action, it's fairly thin fare by comparison. And the ending is pretty pathetic as a result.

As someone else has noted, this is a lot less lesbian-oriented than the marketing would imply, but the cinematography isn't that bad, most of the core cast are fairly attractive and look like they could also act if given better material.

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

Better than average - which isn't saying much - screenplay for an almost hardcore flick. If flat-chested women with Hungarian music in the background is your thing, go for it. Special mention to the Polish actors who memorized the few lines they had in English.
