One Woman
One man in front of her
One man behind her

Red behind woman
Palm fronds in front of the man and woman
First, a description of the cover (so this can be used as a visual critique). This movie poster exudes sensuality and sexuality with its use of color and imagery. The two men are both holding one woman. The woman has red behind her, symbolizing passion. The palm frond on the left hand side helps to symbolize paradise and vacation.
I chose to review this movie for the Ashland Film Festival assignment since all the Ashland films had been taken down at DJ's Video and so I was allowed to choose a foreign film. This movie was very different than a lot of movies I have seen. The movie was rated 18 and over. I had heard about this movie several times over the past couple of years and decided it was time to see it. This movie was very sensual and erotic. This movie is about 2 young boys, around 18, who are around the age of graduating high school. Their girlfriends decide to travel to Europe and go to Italy one summer. While they're gone, they meet Luisa, who is married to the cousin of one of the boys. Basically, the boys convince Luisa to join them on a road trip to a beach. She at first protests because she is married but decides to go with them after she has a dramatic event happen to her. To mask her pain, Luisa has sexual relations with both boys. The boys develop friction within their friendship because they both discover that they have broken their guy's "code" of friendship they had developed together. Both boys not only slept with Luisa but had slept with each other's girlfriends in the past. This movie shows that while on the surface friendship may appear stable and fun, with some friends there is a murkiness just beneath the surface that can end up destroying a friendship. This movie also shows how a woman in pain (because of several circumstances) used sex as a way to numb herself against worldly pain.
