Another one of those European "girl coming to age and feeling sexually curious" movies, done as only the Euros can. Now, if made in America, this movie EASILY gets an NC-17, if not an X. There are several, very explicit scenes involving various forms of masturbation - with worms, with flowers, with a bottle and with a bike seat. It's as if this girl just woke up one morning and said, "Damn. I'm kinda horny." If I was teaching a Sex in Cinema class, this would be one film that I'd screen. Cut out all the standing in front of the mirror and groping her breasts, and the masturbation scenes, and the fantasys of banging the stud at the wood mill, you have about a 30 minute movie. And that's just the girl. Then you've got the husband/father who has this creepy psuedosexual relationship with his daughter. And when he unzips on the ferris wheel at a carnival and shows a girl his dick, you know the MPAA would've had a fun time trying to distinguish between NC-17 and X. As it is, the current version is shown as unrated. On a side note, the main theme is so damn catchy.
