Is this Social Commentary or Porno?


The cover looks like it's a sex film, but it is described as serious political/social analysis. If it's a serious film, how come they portrayed it as a porno flick?

uh....how is it being portrayed as a porno? maybe you should watch a real porno and realise this film is ART and not PORN. Sex isn't considered ugly & pornographic in most art/euro films, it is a way of analyzing politics, philosophy and psychology through something we all can have some relation/feeling towards...a.k.a sex....

There is zero nudity in this film from Lucia Cara. In fact, there is zero nudity from anyone, although there is one aggressive love scene, an attempted rape and a wedding night. It's a standard coming-of-age movie with titillation tossed in, but no nudity.

There is some nudity when Milu is being bathed. But that doesn't mean it's a porno.

I watched this movie last night and enjoyed it. Basically shows Miluzza coming of age where as in she a girl coming into adulthood. Sex is all around her and she flirts with men not knowing where it is going. In the beginning her life is carefree and then tragedy after tragedy comes upon her. In her naivety she goes into a hotel room with a older man not knowing what will happen. When the villagers find out they call her a woman of ill repute. It had gotten to the point that some of the men wanted to gang rape her. She does have some friends that protect her but she is losing them one by one. Then she finds a solider and with her compassion she helps him home. The man sees this compassion and he then protects her.
