Pretty bad soft-core sex comedy., 28 April 2004

Author:

There is nothing even remotely interesting or particularly arousing in this boring piece of soft-core sex trash.The only reason to watch it is lovely Sylvia Kristel from "Emmanuelle" and "Private Lessons".The sex scenes are strictly soft-core and rather uninteresting.The last sex scene on tennis court in the rain is pretty good,though.The acting is mediocre and the film is loaded with some truly annoying and laughable characters.Sylvia Kristel provides some nudity,but there is not enough T&A for my liking."Julia" is a pretty obscure film,so if you're a fan of cheerful exploitation you may give it a look.Just don't expect something really arousing,because this film is just average.Watch Joe D'Amato's sleazy sexploitation movies or Walerian Borowczyk's erotic stuff instead.My rating:4 out of 10.

Soft porno Violating Genre Rules, 31 January 1999

One of the unwritten rules for sex films is to depict sex as something
enjoyable - perhaps it is a guilty pleasure and some punishment may be
afoot, but a pleasure nonetheless. Another is that a once initiated sexual
encounter always goes ahead - the punters loath prickteasing.
This film dares touching these rules. The story resolves around an upper
middle class family during the summer holidays. They are desperately trying
to have a good time, and the emphasis is here on "desperately", because they
are just not very at good at it. Sex is the only thing that overcomes their
boredom, but even that rarely suffices. This lethargic lot is very hard to
excite - the only time anyone got really upset was mother Hildegard when her
husband's mistress told her at the family diner table that she was now
sleeping with her teenage son as well.
Make no mistake: this is a softporno and nothing else, it does not have a
message of any kind. But it is much less predictable than the average genre
flick and that makes for much more interesting viewing.
Note: the UK release has an attempted rape scene (Pauli on Ivanna) cut,
which is a bit of a shame as it explains the family's subsequent trip to
Italy.
