GWENDOLINE (1984) ¢ 1/2
D: Just Jaeckin
Tawny Kitaen, Brent Huff, Bernadette Lafont,
Jean Rougerie, Zabou Breitman, Andre Julien
A stupidly silly softcore fantasy in the tradition of "Barbarella" and "Flesh Gordon", starring Tawny Kitaen as a young woman who heads out into the wild, determined to track down her lost father, or capture the exotic butterfly he disappeared trying to get. Some of the art direction looks pretty cool, but there's a difference between making a movie that looks good and making a good movie, and "Gwendoline" demonstrates that. Original U.S. title: "The Perils of Gwendoline In the Land of the Yik Yak".
