As already mentioned here, not to everyone's taste, this beautifully photographed film. In my humble opinion a true, modern masterpiece. Although Gallo's own fault (advertizing the picture with huge billboards that showed the fellatio-act), it's unfair The Brown Bunny will always be remembered for that one, pornographic scene. Besides of the fact that the pornographic scene is so extremely important for the dramatic development near the end, the film has so much more to offer. The sadness, the roads, the landscapes, the soundtrack, this film is TRANCE in capital letters. Gallo is a talent, highly underrated because of his impossible behaviour, but probably without his controversial, impossible behaviour this film would never have been made. Thanks, Mr. Gallo for this highly unique and beautiful cinema experience!!!!!!!

First showcase of the future Italian porn star and politician. The film, in Germany known as 'Cicciolina's Sex-Politik' tells the story of radio moderator Cicciolina (Ilona Staller), helping radio listeners to experience their ultimate sexual experiences. As you can imagine, it's not the story that makes this rare seventies gem a great one. It's the entire atmosphere of the movie that turns 'Cicciolina amore mio' into a fantastic seventies experience: great cinematography, dazzling filter effects, lots of neon colors and a very charming Cicciolina at her very, very best! The soundtrack, partly composed by the underrated Gianni Marchetti, deserves to be released on CD and contains the cult classic 'I was made for dancing' (also released on Cicciolina's debut album from 1979).
