A nice gentle movie about past that follows.
jenssmett23 July 2022
Cathy fille soumise, is perhaps not the most appropriate title for this film. Cathy is not at all submissive in this film, far from it. A film with a lot of respect for the woman and for the woman who does the job of a prostitute. Very beautifully portrayed sex scenes, although perhaps a little too much of the good thing. A bit more attention for a nice story would make the film more digestible.

Don't forget, the extremely beautiful and gifted Belgian actress Erica Cool is very good in her role of Cathy.

Cathy, histoire confuse
Karl Self26 December 2023
In the first scene, Cathy is inexplicably raped by three men.

Then the plot switches to a couple who make love on a hayride before being joined by a raven-haired female friend who arrives by train. After shaboinking with a dildo, the man helps cyclist Cathy to repair her bike and instantly falls for her. He avows to her that he knows from a friend "what she does" (prostitution apparently), then Cathy is abducted by her three pimps from the big city, who force her to make love to a cucumber, then rape her once more. She owns up to her new lover Simon, a local farmer, about how she initially worked for and fell for her pimp Tony, engaging in ever more sordid occupations until full-blown street prostitution ensued. Meanwhile Simon's two girlfriends get it off with a local girl. Pimp Tony is eventually caught by locals and made to watch Simon shag all the local birds. Personally, in Tony's place, I would have preferred to have been roughed up by the locals instead. Simon then has congress with Cathy by a river while there is a blue-sky thunder storm in the background.

Bottom line: The director fails terribly to create any sexy scene despite the many pretty actresses at his disposal. Mainly because of his predilection to dildos, which don't really work in a romantic setting. The sex scenes seem like physical workouts - this is what I imagine would happen when a gay director shoots a straight erotic movie. Then the main actor goes in for the "fallen girl" immediately after having a ménage à trois, which doesn't make any sense. Plus there is a very confused plot and background story. Why do the three pimps not simply drag Cathy back to the big city, rather than repeatedly gang-raping her and letting her go. What does rape have to do in a sexy film in the first place? Not even the title makes sense, as Cathy really isn't in any way a "submissive girl".
