A beautiful young girl named Vivi, go to a nude photo session for the Dansish porn mag Rapport. She don't really like it, but she need the money and are tired of being stuck at the factory where she work. Unfortunatelyafter the photos have been published, a guy at her work begin to call her on the phone and tell her dirty things that freaks her out. She try to take a vacation so she can forget it, but the stalker is following her. The stalker show up to be a real freak wearing a tweed jacket and a yellow tie. When he is not drawing vagina's on the walls or sniffing stolen panties, he play German soldier in WW2 or steal bikes. But Vivi meet the middled aged woman Harriet, who show up to be a notorious, man hating über feminist. Together they plan to take revenge on the stalker. But Vivi did not expect Harriet's real intentions. The last 20 minutes is pure haunting sadism. What can I say? Not only is the movie pretty entertaining, it also happens to be very well-made and put in a interesting point in the end. When I started to see this movie, I just expected one of the usual sex comedies from Denmark that was pretty usual in the 70's. Leading lady Lise Lotte Norup did also stare in a handful of these movies. But it showed up to be more dark and exploitive. There is some interesting and clever questions to the use of pornography and to why some men treat women like they do. But with all the explicit nudity, it is still not a really feminist feature. The director have even been so brave to question the meaning of feminism at all. I'm impressed.
