Mmm...
15 February 2004 | by (Sweden) – See all my reviews

Not that bad. Made as an "information film" (Swe. upplysningsfilm) about sex, biologically and socially, during the 60's, I have to say that for its purpose it's well all right. Pretty amusing to sit through, never boring, but ridiculous and nerdy indeed sometimes.

But I think what the Swedes really need, is not an information film about sex, but an information film about love.

3/5
