It is know that Jesus Franco did his fair share of total waste of time films. By that i mean films that dont have no reedeming qualities whatsoever. He also did a lot of very good ones and i like him a lot but Cecilia is not one of the good ones. This film is basically Emanuelle. That by itself is a huge disapointment for Jesus Franco enthusiasts because Emanuelle sucks really bad. But not only that this film is Emanuelle WITHOUT Sylvia Kristel and no one as interesting or charismatic to fill the gap. Lina Romay has a role in it but its quite insignificant. She has something like 5 minutes of screen time in total and even if she had more i doubt that it would be enough to make this one worthwile. The plot is very uniteresting, the soundtrack is very stock, the lead actress has no charisma, the locations are not particularly interesting either, some scenes go on forever (like the one where we see cecilia going back and forth horseback riding on the beach. And also it is way too long for its own good. Maybe if it was something close to 80 minutes it would be a little more tolerable but it isnt and it aint.
