Bibi (1974)

How sad is this?

Did you people see the same film I saw?

It's an amazing and heartbreaking story.

A terrific literary drama and character piece that shows how the process of creating art can be seen differently by those doing it and those looking at it from the outside.

Having seen other films starring Marie Forsa I thought I would give this a viewing but at the end it all seemed a waste of time. Marie Forsa is a very attractive woman; with her elfin face framed by her shoulder-length blond hair she exudes an innocent charm. The other women are also good looking as one would expect in an erotic film but the film itself under the direction of Joe Sarno is quite boring.Marie plays a young woman who comes to stay in a house seemingly populated by lesbians. If you like girl on girl action then this is OK and a lot of the action is quite graphic although it should be stated that this is still soft core but what irks the most is the director's almost obsessive compulsion to zoom in on the their faces. If this is meant to convey some sort of intensity then it quickly loses the effect. This is not one of Joe Sarno's better efforts.

This Swedish softcore sex film has (under the title of Girl meets Girl) a subtitle, "The Erotic Adventure of a Student Abroad", so one might expect a juvenile version of Emmanuelle, or a naked interpretation of "If It's Tuesday It Must Be Belgium" -- but in any case, some sort of story about a girl student abroad having erotic adventures. Which implies a narrative story line, usually involving something happening.Sorry for you story-lovers, but you won't find Dickens here, or even dicks for that matter (but plenty of tail, although not in two cities). This easy-on-the-eyes and mostly lipstick-lesbian film can be summarized best in keyword form, comma-delimited: pretty-blond, bicycle, airplane, aunt, lesbian-lover, vibrator, voyeurism, crotch-grabbing, coyness, seduction, breasts, fingering, more coyness, breasts again, more seduction, hint-at-a-plot, breasts, moaning, pudenda, more plot hints, oh-look-a-yellow-MGC-roadster, breasts again, hey-where-did-that-guy-come-from?, different breasts, maybe-young-blond-not-so-innocent, give-up-on-plot, geez-even-more-sex, OK-screw-it-no-plot, different-breasts, who's-that-new-girl?, more-lez-sex, exhausted, oh-wait-there's-BDSM, yet-more-sex, OK-really-exhausted-now.And that's pretty much it. BTW, the moaning and groaning and orgasm convulsions are better than in many actual hardcore films. Just sayin'.

The plot given here is actually a little inaccurate. The title character "Bibi" is actually the seducER, not the seducee and although most of her conquests are indeed lesbians, they also include men, couples, you name it. She always takes some kind of trinket from each sex partner--as she says in her thick Swedish accent, "Sumpting to remember you by"--and by the end of the movie she has collected A LOT of trinkets.I saw this almost back-to-back with the "Second Coming of Eva", and while both films had too much sex in them perhaps, I liked this better. First off, it is Swedish softcore rather Swedish XXX, so the girls are noticeably more attractive, especially Maria Forsa, who is one of the most beautiful girls I've ever seen in a film this explicit. Also the sex scenes here are ridiculously numerous, but they're not interminably long as is the bane of pretty much all XXX films, so the film moves pretty fast at least. And the one song, "Baby, Love is Strange", is actually pretty catchy. Naturally, nobody here can really act, or even pronounce their stilted English dialogue, but Forsa especially should have won some kind of special award for faking(?) orgasms. She appeared in at least two other Joe Sarno movies, "Vampires Ecstasy" and "Butterflies" (she's even more impressive in orgasm-faking department then she is in this one).This is not nearly as interesting as Sarno's best work like "Young Playthings" (sadly, MIA on legitimate DVD), "Inga and Greta", or "Vampire's Ecstasy"--all movies that have an actual plot. (Well, kinda). Still, it is worth a look.

i had seem Maria Forsa for the first time in VAMPIRE ECSTACY.I thought she was the best looking girl in that film and wanted to see more of her so i was glad to come upon her GIRL MEETS GIRL movie.I thought i was in for a treat. I wasn't.The film is way too long and you really have to be into lesbian scenes. i'm not against some lesbian content but the way it's presented here is mostly dull and boring.The lighting,the choices of the actresses, the way the scenes are shot and the weak storyline makes this film pretty uninteresting. VAMPIRE ECSTACY looks like a masterpiece compared to this!
