You know how most 'erotic films' are burdened with long, boring, overly graphic sex scenes? This isn't one of them. Oh, there are some sex scenes, but most of the long, boring passages in this Scandinavian drama involve serious discussions about nymphomania or lots and lots of classical music. Anita is actually quite well-acted (Christina Lindberg is genuinely good) and reasonably serious, but still can't help itself when it comes to the requisite lesbian encounter, which comes out of left field and isn't terribly convincing. And watch out for the continuity error when Anita doffs her clothing for another soulless sexual liaison and magically pulls her hair back into a ponytail whilst her hands are, er, otherwise occupied. Not bad, not particularly good, and not very sexy, Anita will leave your Swedish meatballs lukewarm at best.
