![]() I started to try to explain myself what was going on. ROY STUART GLIMPSE 11 RAREST PROFESSIONALAfter a few sentences, I kind of notice that we were here not only dealing with a professional actress but an awesome one. My main curiosity was for Giulia and I begun to see the next thing with some skeptic disinterest. ![]() Together with Giulia there was a short film called "Sono Come Tu Mi Vuoi". I am a fierce advocate of crossover experiments with mainstream movies showing explicit sex, but the minimum requirement for that is that the experiment wouldn't be an embarrassment for any porn producer, as is the case here. Not that there is too much to follow of the non-existent plot but at least they could have shown us what happens. The sound stops arbitrarily in the middle of the scenes and the camera turns away suddenly as if we were looking at the unedited dailies. The camera work and the editing are so abysmal that it's distracting. ROY STUART GLIMPSE 11 RAREST MOVIEIn this case the movie is not only bad, it's incompetent, and that's worse than bad. All that opened a world of possibilities for a minimally talented director to make a hell of an erotic movie. In addition to that, she's a real trooper accepting to participate in this short. She is gorgeous to look at and seem to be a very talented actress. ![]() Besides, Anna Biella seem to have shot herself in the foot taking part in this mess since her acting credits didn't improve very much after that, and that is a real pity. To begin with, Giulia is a missed opportunity a waste of great possibilities. The movie we are discussing is not too many words worth but the one that came in the same bundle with it certainly is. So much for that elusive "film look." Jesus was a vegetarian? Aggressive Hawaiians? Planned animal?OH GOD I LOVE THIS MOVIE!" This is the only video I've ever seen that looks more effective and compelling and moody than film. In French and Italian with Italian subtitles. But on top of that is the music, composed by director Roy Stuart, which is genuinely haunting, and which is sung to perfection by Anna Biella (Giulia) and Alessandro Corsini (Gustavo). The wildly expressionistic editing alone would be enough to get under your skin. This is as moody and as atmospheric as a movie can get. And don't be fooled by the seemingly simplistic plot. If you do (as I did), it will seriously mess with your dreams. WARNING: Don't watch this just before bedtime. But hey, what I love about the Italians is that they're not Catholic. I imagine that the Vatican hierarchy blew their collective fuse when they found out what that cameraman used his footage for. Oh the lucky people who were there that night! Turns out that Giulia wasn't invited to travel with her classmates because her jealous gay dance instructor Gustavo is having an affair with her sex-show partner Eric. And I bet that was a real night in a real discotheque too. A good example of this is the bit with the Chaplin-like mime in the park, who may not have even known he was appearing in a professional video he probably thought he was just in someone's home movie. I bet that some of these episodes were not staged, but were real events, shot as they happened. There are various vignettes as Giulia walks through Paris, chats with a friend, pulverizes a pest in the park, attends a street festival, and so forth. I'm no longer a teen, and nudity and sex, scripted and posed, no longer do anything for me at all. Now, here's my confession: When I was a teen, nudity and sex on film were a major turn-on. I'm sure this was done in one take and with a real audience.) She invites her sleazy casting director to join her on stage, but in his jealousy and shock he chickens out and leaves. ![]() But no graphic close-ups either, thank goodness. (No faking anything during this lengthy sequence. The next night is the highlight, for this is when we witness Giulia moonlighting as a live-sex-act performer at a Parisian strip club. After a few minutes of playing along, she scrams, but promises her casting director anything he wants the next night. She goes to an audition but discovers nothing more than a casting couch. I so much admire kids who can talk back to their parents when they need to. Rebelling against her religious-wacko sister Christine and their religious-wacko mom (Tina Aumont, who still looks gorgeous at the age of 50), Giulia aspires to be an actress. Dancing is only one of Giulia's ambitions. This intensely moody experimental one-hour video begins with a French modern-dance class preparing to go to Rome, but Giulia is mysteriously singled out not to go on the field trip. I almost wanted to go to France and find Anna Biella so that I could propose to her. ![]()
