Redwarmin This movie is the proof that the world is becoming a sick and dumb place
Pacionsbo Absolutely Fantastic
Kaydan Christian 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.
Ortiz Excellent and certainly provocative... If nothing else, the film is a real conversation starter.
Falconeer This was one of my favorite late night cable presentations. Beautifully filmed story of a group of girls attending a Swiss Boarding School. They spend their days talking about boys and sex, things they obviously don't really understand. Then one day a new student arrives, an American girl. The others naturally assume that this new girl, played wonderfully by Nastassja Kinski, is experienced in these matters. There is romance, and school girl pranks involving the students at the neighboring boys school across the lake. The cast is gorgeous to look at, and the soft-focus photography reminded me of the films of David Hamilton. In fact the whole theme of beautiful young girls dealing with the first stirrings of sexuality is all quite reminiscent of Hamilton's work, such as "Erste Sehnsucht", and my favorite, "Laura." Also worth mentioning is the music score by composer Francis Lai, who was responsible for the music in many art house and erotic films of this era. I think "Boarding School" is sadly overlooked. I would like to see this one released on DVD with the original German audio, and uncensored, as I am sure this American version must be cut in places. American censors are unkind to films like these, confusing art for exploitation. The presence of Nastassja Kinski, one of the most beautiful women in the world, along with the appearance of Fabiana Udenio, should warrant an official DVD release!
going2mountains I have seen this movie a number of times and enjoyed it. It was filmed in the 70's so its doesn't have the film quality of today, but its still good. I thought it was funny. I would love to have a copy of it to keep because I haven't seen it in a few years. I think its important to remember that it was filmed years and years ago in another country. The actors obviously spoke in a European language so the American version has other voices speaking English. Its a cute movie and I think we can all relate to that time in our lives when we were exploring sex and love. I think some people would have liked more nudity. As I recall there are a lot of above the waist views, but not much else. Enjoy!
mattymatt4ever I would say I wasted my money purchasing this movie, but it was only $2.88. You get what you pay for. That's no lie. Of course, they place Natassja Kinski on the cover to lure you into checking it out. Well, she's the star and she is beautiful as always. But that's not saying anything at all. This is a low, low- (almost no-) budget comedy that will knock you out better than the best anasthetia money can buy. Even the nudity can't save it. The film even starts with a shot of a topless female. Besides, there isn't THAT much nudity (it nowhere near reaches the lengths of softcore porn) and it's SOOOOOO boring that nothing--and I mean NOTHING--can possibly save it. I would write a couple of paragraphs about how much I hate this movie, but I don't like to pick on extremely low-grade movies that are pretty much...supposed to be bad. This is hardly a movie; it's just a collection of poorly photographed images. Film should've been re-titled BORED-ING SCHOOL.My score: 2 (out of 10)
William Only reason why this film got released by Atlantic pictures in 1982 is because young Kinski was in the film. Other than that, this film would've been lost in the drive-in market (I think it played in 1977 as PRETTY SCHOOL GIRLS in some US market in the 70's). Little laugh and bad dubbing, but it's good to see a early performance from two beautiful actresses Kinski and Udenio (who is in many U.S. films).
